(...) That's what I did--I have a whole box full of broken and other misshapen LEGO bricks and I tried dremelling a few of those first. Then I cut up 30 dollar switches :) (...) I own 2 micromotors and about 20 regular motors. I think I'll stick (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) It's a great set if anyone's thinking of grabbing one. I got a second one for $28 just for the parts. Wonderful! Calum (21 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Which one? :) I was at the Walmart on Welland/Bunting. They had the Shuttle Discovery for $50, as well as the Spiderman Final Showdown, and the (Gravity Games)Snowboard Superpipe (all marked down from $70). Benjamin Medinets (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Ahhh... that sounds really cute.... a sort of right of passage. (to build) :) The only one I know that has a Thatch-Perk is Matthias Jetleb (Jetleb@Netcom.ca). He brought one to Train2? (I think). Here is the link to the only ones on (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I have the set #396-1: Thatcher Perkins Locomotive. Got it when it was new as a gift. I still have the instruction sheet/poster! (I was a little obsessive as a kid.) I did a quick inventory and found I still have all the parts but am missing: 1 (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

FYI- The local St. Catharines Walmart has #7470-1: Space Shuttle Discovery marked down to $50.00 They had a ton of them in stock, marked down as final clearance. Don't know if this is everywhere or just there. -Rob A> (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Very interesting! I'd like some of those crossovers using both left and right hand switches. I've not yet been brave enough to use my dremel on Lego like that - I once cut a steel pole outside with the cutting disc and the disc shattered and (...)

So I'm looking at one of my MOCs, and thinking, "Gee, 2x2x1 old style white windows would be better suited for that..." I go into my window bin and search... and search... and search some more... and yet no 2x2x1 old style windows. I found 2x3x1, (...) (21 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Will the terror end??? (URL) more switches fall to the Dremel! The double switch works very nice. I'll see what I'm in the mood for next. As usual, let me know what you think! Dave K (...) (21 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

I will be out of town over Easter so the 9th wouldn't work for me. If we want to move it to a Thursday the 8th would work for me, but the 2nd would probably be better. Derek (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So the 9th is Good Friday, so that's a holiday for many individuals... Are we still doing dinner on that day? A week later we'll be at the show--is the 9th enuf 'lead time' to finalize things? Or shall we get together for dinner on the 2nd? I have (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Must be my week to do crazy stuff with my LEGO collection... (URL) which I took a Dremel to two of my train switches. I was inspired by a picture I saw about a week ago from another LEGO train show (can't track down the post--I'm too tired) and it's (...)

Ok, so I need to thank you, again. This time, thanks for giving me a purpose.

I think I mentioned earlier that I really like your 8 wide rendition, though I will never make the jump to that scale ;) I'll stick with my 6 wide SD70ace Dave K -still doesn't know why the (...)
