Well, I spent a lot of time examining the trains at LegoLand MiniLand Some nits.... which should be taken as constructive criticism because in general I LOVED it. - The nonworking switches are very obviously non working. So much so that they're (...) (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.reviews)

Kevin, Nice pics of your town. I would put the complete town towards the top of the page rather than at the bottom, though, just in case people only have time to see one or two pics. Also, you have some very old, classic elements in your town. I (...) (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

I wanted to say my favorite is the X-Wing. I love to use of the 1x2 "gun" parts for the wings. The A-Wing is also one of my favorites. I need to post my microfig Millenium Falcon. It is smaller than the one Karim did. (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars)

What kind of wheels does this front loader use? (URL) picture is from Legoland, CA, taken by Tom Stangl. The wheels look slighly like the old, large Technic wheels, but seem to be more rounded along the edges. But the bucket is from 8459, right? (...) (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

Out of all the original creations I've seen so far on the web, Karim's are the best. No one else has a deeper understanding or how to build and how to overcome the "stacking" problem of Lego bricks. The man is a master. Dave (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars)
