(...) I've got two of the 4565 sets. I just decommissioned the 4565 engine (Red) to build the alternate. I do have a 4565 engine in Blue though, and half a one in Yellow that I hope to finish. (...) Black 5 high with no slats in them. The ones (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) *sigh* Mine is still in a sealed box. Don't have the heart to open it yet! Today I just realized that the engine's sides are built on tilt hinges!

I've just finished the 4565 Alternate Model... Should be a good one to run for a bit... I've also worked a bit more on the custom track sensors needed for the single bridge, double loop project. I should be setting up the test track by this (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) Hi guys, I'm stuck (literally) up in Edmonton. We came up for the Thanksgiving weekend, but on the way up our truck's engine decided to pack it in, so we'll be marooned here until at least Friday (arrrgghhhh!) before we head back. I can't do (...) (24 years ago, 9-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Kevin, could you phone the train guys and confirm that they have our Fax and that things are progressing? On another note I just finished the Points switcher. It should work great for RCX controlled switching... Now on to the custom sensors (3) then (...) (24 years ago, 8-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
