I know a full "O" provides more area for stuff, but how much of a hassle is it getting access to the (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

(...) Yes, well, that has me a bit cheesed off (not your siggy, but that there's good reason for it to be making a swipe).

(...) Well I think I probably got (stole) that philosophy from the train groupies in that newsgroup, but also I've had that idea in my head way, WAY before I got on Lugnet or even heard of Larry P ++ ...especially when I saw the trains when I first (...)

(...) At least we realise Lego is a toy :^o (...) The US shows seem to be appreciated by the public, which is surely half the battle. Most people have built with Lego and kids use it, whereas less may have had a proper model train, and less again (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)
