		Re: R;I am looking for same US trains set
3225 should not be too hard, perhaps you could make a quick trip to Germany?? It's still being sold. 4558 will be a challenge unless you're willing to pay around 300-350 USD. It's the most coveted 9V and been out of production for several years. (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: LDraw and the Track Designer (Was: Next show)
Yep, that was EXACTLY what I was thinking of. The convertor should create the needed views (all the rotations), and if it can handle the scaling too, so much the better. Just scaling bitmaps down in an image editor gives weird artifacts if you're (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.dev)
