I haven't checked it out recently. Maybe it's time I did. I thought I'd have a
look in Big W (Southland) on the weekend, and they had an old 8720 motor set
there that had been opened. They said I could have it $20 (instead of the
marked $61), so who am I to refuse a cheap set? There were only a couple of
bits missing.

I'm sure we can come to some kind of arrangement!

Well, I came up with a design for an arched suspension bridge (loosely
inspired by Sydney's coat-hanger) when I was a younger - never built it, but
it wouldve ended up about 1.5m span x .5 m high. Never had enough pieces for
it!! (If there's any big train freaks about that are interested, I can
probably just about remember how I did it).
I've only just got back into Lego recently, (when I got a MindStorms set), so
havent had much time to spend all my hard-earned cash. Yet...
Regards,
ROSCO
