Me too. :) Have you had any more progress on the CRJ? What about the jet
engines, any concepts for those yet?

I ordered a BrickLink order from Kevin Salm’s store the other day, so I hoep to
work on it in the upcoming weeks. The empennage/tail assembly is the next
challenge on it.
The engines are posing a problem, because I’m not sure what wheel hubs exist in
white. I think I may end up using SNOT and halfstep jumper plates to do them.

My friend Jeff when I was a kid had the old town cargo plane, and it had 2
jet engines on it. They were always my favourite piece - any time I went
over to his house to play LEGO, I’d always want to play with that plane ‘coz
of those engines.

The airplanes were my favourites too--I had all of the three airplanes--the one
from the yellow airport (which was red, with four engines), the cargo plane like
your friends (which was blue top, white fuselage, grey underbody), and the small
commuter jet (white with red and black stripe). I loved those sets.
One of the things I loved about Lego was the fact there was always these little
generic companies. One of them was the mysterious “Yellow Box with Arrows
Global Shipping Conglomerate”. The Cargo Center and cargo plane both had these
logos on them, they were kind of universal--not American like the Santa Fe or
commercial like Shell. They didn’t even have a name like “Octan”.
I smiled when I saw one of the large airplanes at the Airport display in
Legoland had such a logo on its tail.
