One thing I can suggest.. someone else could probably give you the exact
addy... Looks around for Todd :) there is a inventory group.. gives you
inventories on some of the sets.. I'm not sure how many are listed there
though... you could print out a few of them and try to pick out the pieces..
good idea to be able to figure out a lot of ldraw descriptions would probably
help you in recognizing the right pieces.
One other quick suggestion... post the sets you THINK might be there.. and ask
if anyone has an inventory.. quicker than trying to build it to see how far
you get.
Just my .02 bricks worth, I'm sure there's someone with .25 bricks worth out
there :)

| For the sets I think I've identified I've gone to K Loch's Instruction Scans site and worked through the reconstructions substituting off-color parts as needed just to make progress. But the trouble is not with the sets I can easily pick out from (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
