Evening all, Eli called me a couple of hours ago having seen an ad on the telly suggesting that Westfield Figtree (near Warrawong/Wollongong) is having some sort of display apparently centred around King Leo's Castle.

(...) Can't wait for the commentary page!! Glad you like the photos. I might have to read your photo FAQ page at Port Block again for some tips as I'm ashamed that some of the photos didn't turn out.

In lugnet.loc.au.nsw.syd, David Low writes worthy stuff in contribution to the developing tale of the Battle of Tank Stream. Cool. Thanks Dave, will add. I'll have the draft page up by the end of the weekend. Regards Richard Still baldly going.... (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au.nsw.syd)

Or, why not have the train travelling at a slow, constant speed around the tracks.

This might sound silly but its coming from me who hasn't read the brickwars rules. It sure looked like your brickwars could use some railway to transport troops.

Hi All, Sounds like I missed a good day out at Pete's on the weekend. Anyway. One of my sons unearthed my old (I mean OLD) Thunderbird 2 die cast the other day. Last night I built it out of LEGO.
