  YOU be the designer
 
Here's a thought experiment. Suppose you wanted to design a train set that would be good for drawing **USA** newcomers into trains. What would you put in it? How much would you target it costing? Realise that the pricing/profit has to be about the (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

  Any news on 4519?

  Re: 4555 available in canada

As above, I have a 4555 now on order from S@H Canada. Anyone interested in ordering a 4552 (in the US) and selling it to me? (last I checked, Lego Canada still didn't carry the -full- range of train stuff, and since that is old stock...) James (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)
