The new ones appear wider in the tray, but it's the same track so they'll all be compatible. (...) Well if you can tell it's a door (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

G'day, Well, there's at least one person out your way, but he doesn't usually appear on lugnet till late at night, so he probably won't reply to this till tonight/tomorrow night.
