| Sometimes the virtual glass concept works. Where you make all the frames like there is glass in them, but never put it in. So people are given the impression of it being a window even though there is no real lego glass piece that could fill in the (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| First, Calum, can you bring T-shirts for us out-of-towners to the Montreal train show? I asked for medium, I'm not sure about anyone else. I vaguely recall Ka-On asked for medium also. I'll buy his too and get it to him if you have two medium's. If (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, lugnet.org.ca.monlug)

|
| I've noticed that at the more recent rtl events have had a lack of names for robots. IE, it's always just "X's Robot", where X = robot builder. Can everyone name their robots this time, like we used to like at, say, rtl4? Who could forget Rogue (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| Hi folks, I have a dumb question: Is it wrong, and by wrong, I mean, would it be unusual or looked down on, to have the roof of a building in a Town layout to be made of plexiglass or glass?
