(...) Hi Cary. I looked at your prototype fairly soon after your original post. You have been busy since then. Lots more there now. I am happy to have another easy to read, well organized resource. What a help to have someone pull everything (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Serves me right, asking for feedback when I didn't give any. I think your train is great. It looks very professional, as in the Lego set designs that I admire. Do you think a coal car between the engine and the passenger car would be in keeping with (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc)

(...) I like the train also. We'll have to loan Sheree some train wheels and a train motor so she can re-work it a bit to run in our next train display (Sheree - we'll turn you into a train fan yet...) Sheree, I may have some more Fabuland parts for (...) (24 years ago, 15-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc)

(...) Well, there are ways to fix that.... You could probably score a bunch of train parts fairly cheap if you asked around on buy-sell-trade. Many traniacs have an overabundance of curved track, train motors, and power pack/controllers, and you (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Sheree, if Frank bullies you into deciding that you want a nine volt train, or some parts of one, I definitely can help you out. Cheap. Also, I was wondering about your train's wheels. In its current form, would you prefer yellow ones? Cary "Frank (...) (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc)
