Hi, Sounds fine to me, I wanted to enter my grey gondola car in the under 100 pieces contest (it incredibly has only about 90) but forgot to.

I'm a little nervous about tying the contest to a particular theme, because not everybody is interested in trains. I suspect you'd have a similar reaction to a contest for building a spacecraft.... But let's go with this idea and see what the (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
