Hi. I have a few old stickers (from 7722 and 7725 to be precise) which are either on the wrong brick or have (apparently) been applied once and stuck back on the sticker sheet. Does anybody have experience, good or bad, with taking stickers off (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

Great job, James! I like the truck. The fenders really set it off. I love the DB 74 loco. The rounded top is excellent! Do you remember in which kit you got the yellow 4x4 radar dish? Joe (...) (25 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
