| Sorry for the delayed response on this topic. I think NCLTC is a good name for a potential club. I also may have scared up a couple more recruits for this effort. One of my co-workers son has a some LEGO train (4559, 4554, and a couple other sets) (...)

| Tuesday night I was in the Cary Target close to closing time and there was a palette of new LEGO boxes in one of the aisles. I noticed that one of them was labeled 1298 so I got a woman to open it for me. I went ahead and got it, it is a nice set. I (...)
