A guy who reads these newsgroups sent me an email offering a new set for a lower price than in stores, he also sells them on ebay i`m sure you could find them. He said he`ll be sending it out tomorrow, so i`ll probably see it on monday or tuesday. (...) (22 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Rob, Missed you at the last event. I had a chance to show off my latest Hi-Technic (John Barnes) creation. It's a very small, programmable brick. Very cool. Congrads, Steve (22 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So yeah. I think mine is the TGV Atlantique, I've always been drawn to it even as a kid. I really like Transrapid (in the original colour scheme the 07 ran at in Emsland at the TVE, as Europa) but the Shanghai line is so short. Out of the trains (...)
