Ok, we are getting things rolling and my Train Duel crossing is going to kick. Wait until you see the lights. The only thing missing is the 'ding' sound... I'm going to need aprox 20 more 1by8 gray tiles to make the second track and middle stretch. (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I've got a crap load of Gray straights and curves myself. (With path) I'll use a gray road plate. That's a pretty good idea. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I think we've got a plethora of straight grey road plates, so that's what I would suggest. We still may need to do a inventory count of all our different plates to ensure that our current layout will work. Robin (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.van)
