I'm moving on and expanding my horizons. I have now, and for some time, encountered trouble making ends meet. So I am moving on and I no longer work at LEGO Brand Retail. I am pursuing other opportunities. I hope to share them with you when I learn (...) (21 years ago, 2-Apr-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.people, lugnet.technic, FTX)

Their isn't much going on in this group at the moment but I've just had some luck, I won 39 copies of set 1259 on Ebay. (URL) £10.50 it works out at 1.262p a part not counting postage. Not bad :-) Steve (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

If it's static then a Train controller, RCX with AC socket or Control Center could do the job. The train controller can (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general)

I have a question to all you technic gurus out there. I've looked around Lugnet for a good half hour or so without any luck, but maybe I'm not looking in the right places.
