GB#3 just arrived in my mail last night. Tom wasn't kidding about the weight. It cost him $5.70 or something like that to ship it to me. More than half the weight is wheels. The wheels are mostly older styles either with fixed axles, or with the metal axles which plug into a 2x4 brick. There are also a few parts in real sad shape. Since Junk Box #2 is supposedly on its way to me sometime in the next year or two or three (sorry, I'm starting to get a bit testy about that...) I propose moving all the junk parts to JB#2, and perhaps even a selection of the wheels. GB#2 either needs to be split, or seriously trimmed. I don't think people are going to want to continue paying close to 6 bucks to ship wheels around. If anyone has a serious interest in older wheels, please let us know, we might want to have the box make a detour or just send the wheels directly to you and ask you to start a new Jambalaya box, or contribute some extra bucks to Lugnet or something. I'll try and take some time to take a picture of the wheels tonight so people can see just what we're dealing with. follow-ups to lugnet.market.jambalaya -- Frank Filz ----------------------------- Work: mailto:ffilz@us.ibm.com (business only please) Home: mailto:ffilz@mindspring.com

Yes, and this is the reason I may not add myself into new boxes - the shipping costs are getting outrageous on many of these boxes. While it's a lot of fun to dig through to see what you get, I have yet to get a box with enough stuff to justify the (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

Let me know if you get that pic taken... my son is a wheel fanatic... Maybe I could buy out part of the box and/or increase my membership donation to LUGNET... You can send a copy direct email to me if you'd like... Dave (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) Sorry about the wheels. I think it's my fault. I thought they'd be useful for someone since many of them are older. I added way more than I took to that box. Maybe I shouldn't have. Chris (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)
