    Re: 2001 rumours —Scott Arthur
   (...) I’m going start a rumour right now that we are going to see a non-town orientated train set. The current range has reached the town Jr cul-de-sac – the only way the break out is to go non-town – adventure, or perhaps even *new* space. hmm, was (...)

         Re: 2001 rumours —Matthew Miller
     (...) I'm hoping (seems unlikely, unfortunately) that Lego will continue their *own* space line, despite the SW contract. Trains would be a great excuse to do that, in fact. (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: 2001 rumours —Erik Olson
     (...) Trains and Star Wars need to go off in separate directions! Why? Because in Star Wars, everybody is either a hotshot pilot, or employs one. It's like everybody drives a car, and the ones who can't, hang out at spaceports (Mos Eisley) trying to (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)

     (...) Hmm... There was a hover train thing in some game like rouge squadron, but it didn't use tracks, just an American Football goalpost lookin' hoverer thing every coupla' hundred meters. It wouldn't work with the standard track system. Alan (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: 2001 rumours —Erik Olson
      (...) No it wouldn't work with your existing track, but you would get a nifty anti- gravity generator in every set instead of a regulator. Then you could sell the extra generators to Castle folk for floating castles! (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

        Re: 2001 rumours —Nicholas Allan

        Re: 2001 rumours —Matthew Teets
   I hate to start my post with a lame movie as a good theme, but I just got done watching the movie version of "Wild wild West".

        Re: 2001 rumours —Gary Istok
   I love the Wild Wild West theme idea. I used to watch the show on TV all the time (before and after it went to reruns). My favorite LEGO set is #396 - the Thatcher Perkins Locomotive, an 1863 vintage western style train locomotive. (I never met a (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

   Gary, Isn't 3225 a start in that direction? And there was 726.... BTW, how many large spoked wheels do you have?? Have you redone the 396 in any colors other than the original black/blue/red?
