| (...) Amongst model trainheads, Lego trains do not enjoy a high acceptance factor. "They're just toys" is the usual comment (I think they mean it as an insult....). There have been a few anti Lego train comments on aus.rail.models in the past. (...) (24 years ago, 6-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)

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)
