You want a 25-car Metroliner? I can do that ;-) I've just been playing around with designs for various cars. I have enough Metroliners, I just need to figure out HOW MANY of each car to make. I need to build a mail car, 2-3 Club Cars, a ton of (...) (24 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Too much work (still pre-IPO, but still hanging on after 5 years!), but I finally made some time to build more improvements on my Spine Car. I added some beds for the SuperTrain 2001 show, but I finally made some time to work on much-needed (and (...)

Last night before practice (mainly because we were an hour early) I stopped by the Toys R Us in Emeryville. (It's on Hollis, in the Ikea area, the shopping center portion closest to the freeway). They have a HUGE overstock of lego still. I was (...) (24 years ago, 18-Apr-01, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Hi all, I pretty much agree with Zonker. The Argus postings have listed the hours as 1 to 4 pm. I brought the Duplo last time just so the smaller kids would have something to play with.
