Last week I saw an MOC that made use of these mysterious and wonderful windows in light grey: (URL) I can't seem to find the MOC, but the image is burned into my mind. Where oh where might one find such a wonderful beast in such a gloriously (...) (23 years ago, 24-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)

The tanker is 8-wide! Well, we knew that anyway: the tanks are 8-studs in diameter, but a bit short for the baseplate - they finish 2-3 studs before the end... Those weathered Octan signs seem to be an odd departure though! As is currently the norm, (...) (23 years ago, 24-Aug-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.trains)

(...) Great news, but I have supposed this, since the backorder hint of 10016 + 10017 in S@H has been deleted for all the European countries 3 days ago. Now I can't wait to get home to check if mine are here also. Have a nice weekend! Ben (23 years ago, 24-Aug-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.trains)

I'm thinking of adding a new section to my Lego collection... Trains!!! I can see great potential in a Space / Train / Mindstorms cross-over. So my question is - Monorail vs. Standard - What's the -real- difference? I know that a while ago Lego (...) (23 years ago, 24-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)

hi, I have seen that people have bought 4561 sets for only $25 bucks at some stores Mint in the box. Does anyone have just the 4561 Train for sale? I just need the engine car, and the two passenger cars. Thanks. Joe (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)

The grain elevator/silo is 64 bricks high (just over 3 feet). I just started with a baseplate and worked out a circle as best I could and then worked my way up. I believe it is over 6000 bricks, but I didn't count. "MARK PETERSON" (...) (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)
