I'm seriously considering making the trip but I'm not sure what day(s) would be the best to attend. If I can't get a reasonable price on a NW flight I'd probably drive up to NW Chicago after work on Thursday and then the rest of the trip Friday, or (...)

(...) I have to agree with John :-) Mac's don't rule, too low a market share to say that. They are merely far superior to those kludgy Wintel abominations. And it's all in the OS. I wish they made it for other hardware so those of you without Macs (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.general)

I think this is a great idea! Formatting would be of the upmost importance for the 'book' to come together as a whole. I would suggest the criteria be at the very least photographs in three resolutions, followed by ldraw instructions, then POV (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)

|

I've seen 4555 on auction. Was that set discontinued in USA? Well, I'm not (yet) a train-maniac, neither I want to put one on auction by myself. I'm just curious. There's plenty of 4555 on the shelves here in Italy, but if the set is going to be (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) In fact, it appears in several non-train sets: 6433, 6435 and 6453. I would say that claiming that it is designed for the train line is a bit controversial. But then again, I don't have the insight in the TLG design process that others may (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)
