Wow, Calum! We *were* only kidding when we said you had to be done before Monday. Tuesday would have been fine... I especially like the closing shot from inside your station. When we set the layout up again, we need to have some photo op time with (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I got to see a portion of it...like the first 3/8ths of it before my explorer window (crappy XP) started going funny.

(...) I SO want to see that video (I'm at work where mpeg's are blocked..) Oh well I only have 3 hours left at work! As for the crane, Yes magnets were used to pick up the containers.
