My German isn't good, but from what I've gathered, you had a birthday this past week (12th?). 31, is it? Well, congratulations!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about set #321 - School Set. I picked it up recently but the set database only mentions the set and name, but no pictures or inventory. Thank Jamie (19 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.general)

Nicely done Tony. I snuck in a few peeks on the Flickr page last week, and saw that it was really coming together. Turned out great. The cow-catcher came out very well using that method.

Also the colour scheme is ok, it reminds a little bit of a comic style. (...) (19 years ago, 16-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)

Here's my latest steam engine I've been working on. It's lacking stickers, but someday I'll find a printer that can print decent stickers from home. Till then I'll have to wait till I can find the time to borrow the use of my father's printer. (2 (...) (19 years ago, 16-May-07, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX) !!
