I think that the web cam is pretty cool! I wish I could be there to help out, but alas, I am stuck at work. I wonder what the record is for longest layout that somebody has at their residence... I know I won't qualify, as my layout isn't even put (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.events)

Well, I would just *have* to throw in another "me, too" to that one. At 40" per box and 48 boxes per case, that is 160 feet per case. I would definitely want to get about that much to make a really good switching yard. Mike Tom Stangl (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
