  Re: 2001 rumours
 
How about bringing back the Wild West theme with a big Wild West style train, complete with bandits to hold the train up and the proverbial tramp in a cattle/box car? Nicholas Allan "Scott A" <s.arthur@hw.ac.uk> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'd like a cattle car for my train, especially if it had cattle in it! (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: 2001 rumours
 
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". While watching it I just kept thinking of all the great lego stuff you could build around that. The only negative side of (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

  Re: 2001 rumours
 
(...) I wouldn't call it giant, but 8266 (Spyder Slayer) has one. It doesn't come close to the size of the one from the movie though. (URL) would be great to see someone put something together, with the RCX perhaps, that could stomp around my (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

  Re: 2001 rumours
 
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)
 
  Re: 2001 rumours / western train
 
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? I redid mine, substituting grey for red, and would like (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: 2001 rumours / western train
 
(...) Hi Paul, I have not yet built a Thatcher Perkins in other colors, but I was mulling it over. I have built a coal tender and old style passenger car in the 1860's style to the Thatcher Perkins scale (using small spoked wheels), but haven't yet (...)

  colorful western trains
 
(...) Photographs for trains in the 19th century are, naturally, all in black and white. From these photographs you can never tell that these western trains were actually so colorful. How/where can you find the colored pictures of these western (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
