 | | My first visit to a model train show.
|
|
Hi All, Last weekend I went to an annual Model train show mainly to see if I could find anyone with a similar interest in Lego trains. 80% of people I spoke to thought I was talking about Duplo trains and did not know that Lego produced "mains" (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Wow. Double Wow. I finally got the chance to visit your page and I'm just amazed at the incredible amount of workmanship an imagination that went into this train. Anyone familiar with the actual train will be able to easily recognize it as (...) (25 years ago, 4-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

|
|
I saw an interesting close-up photo of the bogus little "engine" from the 4561 and it appears to me that the blue corrugated used are 2 1x4s, which would be a new element. I was wondering if anyone else had that same impression. BTW,the catalog (...) (25 years ago, 4-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

Well I got home today and I was just finishing some work on the train I just built and had a weird idea. I took Anakins race pod, that I bought a couple weeks ago, and mounted it on the 9V motor and had it run around the track. it looks very cool. (...)

(...) 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. (25 years ago, 2-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 (...) (25 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 (...) (25 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 (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
