(...) I felt the same way. I fervently hope they do not make trains unless they can improve the quality a LOT. Their molds can't be THAT imprecise so it's got to be the speed at which they eject the parts. (26 years ago, 2-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

Josh, Thanks, I never saw any around here. Bad quality, huh? Oh well, at least it was an attempt. Ugh! Scott Sanburn (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

I would guess it would be similar to Megablocks, just as a guess. But maybe if TLG would see some of their themes (i.e. Military, Suburbia, etc.) and some of their pieces, maybe they would think twice on their Town Juniorizing everything. I would (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

James, Nice train, I like it! I think I'll make one for my next show. Maybe I will use the parts from that new thing the TLG calls the Railway Express(4561). It has a lot of those 4x3 clear wall part that would make nice windows for this kind of (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

Are the Bestlock bricks the same (or near) quality as LEGO? If they are as crappy as MEGABLOCKS, then this discussion is over for me. Just wondering and hoping.... John Lawrence Wilkes <lawrence_wilkes@msn.com> wrote in message (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

I've seen (held, checked-out, put back) the military sets in a Target in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. Among other problems, the plates look really flimsy. That, along with other general flimsy appearance meant I wasn't willing to chance (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

Very nice. The middle car looks great, very efficient use of windows. Very attractive! As, someone else already noted...LEGO should be desinging sets that look this nice! They would not be able to keep this model on the shelves. Thanks James, Chris (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

Wow! That's cool James. Just one nit, it seems that maybe the prototype has red doors on one side and blue on the other??? or else some of the brochure pictures are from different trainsets. I get the impression that the prototype has a middle (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) This looks great! Even TLG could do a set like this for cheap, and they should. This would even be cool in a monorail version. Now you've got me thinking about articulated cars again :) -Tom McD. (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

I have finally had some time to build with LEGO. This time I've found a friend, and his name is BOB, oder: "Die Bayerische Oberlandbahn". BOB is a German passenger train. A friend of mine recently traveled to Germany and returned with a brochure (...) (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)
