I was just at the Toy R Us at Yonge and Queen and it has the new 4107 creator bucket for $29.99. I'm disapointed but not surprised by the price. It's exactly what I was expecting. I was hoping for the $24 to $26 range the 3033 ended with. Now if (...) (22 years ago, 27-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I'm currently working on the inner loop tunnel under Altenburg. This loop only needs to be 6 wide compliant, and I've already made it impossible for some of my 8 wide trains to use it. :-) What I need to know is, what is the largest "6 wide" car (...)
