Got my Metroliner and Club Car last night. Pretty cool. The box was much smaller then I expected it to be. But its just a simple box full of polly bags. The Metroliner does have the errors that people have been talking about. The small windows have (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

About 16 1/4 inches long. According to the rules page, it can only be 16 inches long. Do I need to completely redesign it, or will The Powers That Be (Chris?) be willing to overlook a quarter inch? Please? Pretty Please? Trevyn. (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
