Two other resources come to mind:
Lutz Uhlmann's Parts Reference at:
http://titan.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~uhlmann/partlst.html
Technica reference of technic parts at:
http://w3.one.net/~hughesj/technica/t_contents.html

Both of these cover lots of parts not done in LDraw, and the Technica pages
even have images of parts not LDrawn.

Hello everybody, In an earlier post in this thread I stated that I would start to make a list containing the various names for each LEGO part. As many parts have different names in different auctions, programms and inventories it is sometimes hard (...)
