(...) The only reason I brought it up was because of the another paragraph and the subsequent e-mail. "Personally I don't mind modifications as long as, say, 90% is LEGO. But the rules are there and if your entry does not qualify I might have to (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I am as hard-core a purist as they come, but the above argument sounds pretty definite to me, and more so if we take into account the ballast question. Cosmetic changes, those non essential to the workings of the machine are ok. It's not like (...) (22 years ago, 13-May-02, to lugnet.technic)

Hi: After 6+ years on my local ISP's w3.one.net server Technica needs to find a new home. OneNet was bought out by NuVox in St Louis and tonight when I tried to update the site I found out the server is down. A call to St Louis suggests that this (...) (22 years ago, 13-May-02, to lugnet.technic)

Looks very good! I like the job you did on the bucket. It looks very real. Amazing what you have done at that small scale. You really need a "macro mode" on that camera. The pictures don't do justice to your work. I hope you will post the final (...) (22 years ago, 12-May-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.technic)

This one, like my CAT 980G, is almost done, it is minus a good bucket, tracks for one side (which are supposedly in the mail!), & a few plates (also coming). I liked the cab design on it, which inabled me to use up one of those windows! It uses (...) (22 years ago, 12-May-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.technic)
