Hi, I don't know much about trains, so I hope someone can help me. On Mother's Day, *I* got a gift from the parents -- a box of lego they picked up at yard sale for $2. It looks like very old trains (per Pause: perhaps part of set 113?). Let me list (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

Yes! (ala Marv Albert) Welcome to trainstrainstrains!! You are right about the specialty pieces-- they add that little something standard bricks cannot, especially the doors and windows. And yes, they are *way* too expensive! Why can't TLG make a (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hi ! Glad to see another train fan come on board! (no pun intended) ;-) Passenger and commuter trains are harder to realistically produce without those special pieces, like windows and doors. Have you thought about freight trains? They are much (...) (25 years ago, 10-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) That is what I find when I "do" train shows, the most common comment is "I didn't know that LEGO did trains". I let the children control the trains, I've just got some new power adapters to limit the power to 7.5V rather than 9V it results in (...) (25 years ago, 9-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

I like your use of the mirror to show it full blown ;) How many bricks did you use on the first half? The detail is great! I like the steps and handrail! Tamy (...) (25 years ago, 8-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
