(...) Hello John, now your entry is on the contest-sites too: (URL) the song text into the story was a nice idea, so I hope this is OK: (URL) shows your train with the original song as background :-) Kind Regards, René (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Hello, Maybe a misunderstanding in the rules for the ISCC causes less entries. There is the sentence: "Do not send in contributions that are already known, as we want original works." It only means, that the entries need to were unknown or were not (...)

I think this is a great idea, but there is a reason why there aren't a few of these out already. Here are some hard questions/comments... Costs: The printing cost for a 64 page book 11-1/2" x 11" is ~$27.00 ($0.39/page + $2.00 binding) from a copy (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)
