(...) GEEE...EEEZ, Ted! If you don't want any of that great old style, plastic track that was used in the golden era of 4.5 volt trains, let me know. I'll be glad to discuss taking it of your hands...doesn't matter if it's blue or grey...Especially (...) (18 years ago, 26-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) I use both old-gray and bley indiscriminately. :o) Well, ok, not quite indisciminately, but I don't tend to worry about the change too much, and I'm a person who's very much a classic fan. I think part of the reason is that bley pieces tend to (...) (18 years ago, 26-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) I think you're right insofar as it doesn't quite match as well. And seeing the new light gray against the old really makes the new gray almost look a little pastel. So at first, yeah, I thought it looked awful as rock. But after seeing it get (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) What a last line... And I was enjoying your post until then as well ; ) I just can't embrace the bley (though I've picked up more than I meant to from those 'low percent' sets). It doesn't work (IMO) for stone/rock/cliff/castle and generally (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

I think you've answered it yourself: Only you lose out in the end--there are (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

The Town / Train display is putting out the call for Suburban houses to populate the areas outside the city limits. If you haven’t built town MOCs before but want to give this one a try – this is the perfect opportunity as the investment in pieces (...)

(...) You can count me in on that BrickFest discussion! I know I b****ed enough about bley back when it happened but I'm getting to a point in my creations that I have just had to say "Screw it! Just use it!" and both my bridges, Study 20 & 21, are (...) (18 years ago, 22-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) My opinion on the color change has held pretty firm since the beginning. As I thought then, and still do, the problems with the new colors are: They aren't the old colors. If you own 150,000 of the old greys, you can't expand your collection (...) (18 years ago, 21-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX)

Well, that would be pretty slick! A quick financial note for you and others... One of the reasons I schedule this event in March is that it avoids all the other events that drive up hotel prices: graduation, art fair, home football games (Go Blue!) (...)
