Hi all, I finally completed my rendition of a German train from WWII. All told, it's over 12.5 feet long (over 3.8 meters - I believe this makes the double entendre in the subject heading perfectly valid :D), and comprises 11 cars: BR52 Steam (...)

shop@home put 480+ bags of 5077 sliding gates and rails up last week. Ideal for train boxcars. By today they had all gone :-( Hope you all got yours. I expect we will see them on ebay soon regards lawrence (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.trains)

I would have thought so, too. In fact, I did. But I was wrong. "Beg" does mean "ask for." But "beg the question" does not. Webster's Collegiate, 3a: "evade, sidestep <begged the real problems>." And 3b: "to assume a established or proved <beg the (...) (23 years ago, 25-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)
