Hi All, Although I wasn't there, I had a great time scanning through some pictures of NELUG's holiday-scene display (which took place last night): (URL) cross-posted this to .town and .trains because there are some fantastic details in there worthy (...)

| | Re: Petition against permanent color changes
|
|
(...) I recommend we drum up media attention, like what happened when Crayola changed their crayon colors a few years ago. How's this for a headline: LEGO replaces classic "Gray" and "Dark Gray" colors with "Ash" and "Gunmetal". In a cost cutting (...) (22 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

OK, I picked up the new shuttle set. The new light grey 1x1 look bad when mixed with old 1x1s. Enough so that I won't be mixing them. The new "gunmetal" dark grey looks like the same type of new plastic, somewhat translucent, or having a higher (...) (22 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

| | Old ugly train track
|

(...) I do this a fair bit since I travel a lot. Carryon (or hand, or in-cabin, depending on your usage) is best if you can arrange it. Check the clothes and stuff, keep the stuff you really care about close at hand and under your control. But if (...) (22 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) The same happened in the early 1970's when the remote-controlled points were discontinued. The first 12V points from 1969 were remote-controlled, later the hand-controled 12V points came. Niels (22 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)
