No need to do that, it would be a shame to split a complete set just to
replace my printed instructions. Thank you though for your generous
offer.

I'm not really a train head, although I did pay far too much for a 4564
on eBay a while back. I love the Lego trains, but they are the only
trains I have any real interest in. It is the trains that caused me to
expand my collecting Lego outside of the bigger technic sets. I bought a
boot fare box which had, as well as the blue hopper, a tractor flatbed,
a R&R maintenance vehicle, a level crossing and a complete Load n' Haul
railroad set. All for a tenner! After that I now buy any Lego my wife
will let me afford, and a little that she wont!

As for the NBLTC, I'm a little bit behind you guys (and gal). When I
finally move and convert the loft into a Lego room, I'll be back looking
at your baseboard design to start my layout. When this happens, I'll ask
for a membership form. :)
