There are 2 sets numbered 1969. One is Space Police 2 the other is General, however the General one has a link to building instructions which link to the Space Police 2 one - is this correct? (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

Joshua, your reorg is great. but can you break up 12V trains into two words so that a search using theme=trains finds them all instead of just 9V and 4.5V? (26 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.admin.database)
