(...) Thanks! The entire truck came around because of those quarter-disk bricks. I only have two, from a Freestyle bucket, and I was wondering what to do with them. I ended up building the sleeper portion of the truck and then decided to build it at (...) (26 years ago, 23-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

(...) Bram, Great Truck! Beautiful use of the quarter-disk bricks to shape the front top of the sleeper on the cab. The scale is very nice, as well. Good design. later, James (26 years ago, 23-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

(...) Just as a note, I have enough of the gears and such from 8437, but would be willing to buy a partial 8437 from folks after they raided one for the parts they needed. MacFrugals had these at 1/2 off for a while. I got 3, sold one off and parted (...) (26 years ago, 23-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

(...) Yep! That's what I did on the X1/9. I should probably write some more descriptive text under the X1/9, since I've gotten a couple of questions on that one. The 8440 has rigid axles, as you've observed, but it still has the pieces needed to (...) (26 years ago, 23-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

Hey all. I just bought 6453 Com-Link Cruiser. Something about it yells "THIS is what you wanted for that monorail design!" Okay, great.
