(...) I suppose it's up to us to change that impression when we give interviews. If we (collectively) make a conscious effort to say they are not just for kids, perhaps it will change over time? -Tim (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)

(...) The article doesn't make more than the usual number of errors (BrickLink.com as a source for "LEGOS" ...) but I do wish the media would give up on the "adults playing with kids toys" angle, it gets a little tiresome. If some LEGO sets are (...) (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)

(...) Ohh, I wish that was our problem :-) There's a mentally handicapped child who is at one of our shows every year. He really loves the trains, but is quite loud and disruptive - and his parents have difficult time controlling him. One of our (...)

(...) What is the NILTC club policy on "guest trains"? If someone were to say, make a road trip, and brought a train (8-wide, of course) - could they run it on your layout? Great pics, btw - lots and lots of fun 'eye candy', and great work modelling (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)
