Zellers is advertising the train set for $119.97 (plus taxes of course) from Wednesday the 25th to Sunday the 29th. This set was on sale last year for a week for about $112 and then sold out. I wonder if Larry ever redeemed his raincheck... TJ (26 years ago, 22-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I think the type of tank car Larry is talking about has 20 rows of cylinders laying flat in the same orientation as the one large cylinder of a normal tank car. Why they do this, I don't know. Probably something to do with safety. (26 years ago, 21-Nov-98, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)

This is a good deal, especially if you like red or white, this set has a fair number of red and white plates and red and white slopes... also red and white train windows (but with plain clear glass) and white train doors.

Larry brought up Christmas first, so I get to tell about the many ways I have diguised lego packages under the tree. One year I put enough bricks in every package so that they all appeared to be legos. One year I removed the legos from the box and (...) (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) The transformers put out unregulated AC, unregulated means the voltage will vary depending on the load. It will need to put out at least 9V when fully loaded but will probably put out nearer 12V when unloaded. Matt (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains)

Hi all, I have a mystery. I just got a 4564 which naturally comes with a speed regulator. It also came with a 120V transformer which will never get used. I wonder what happens when you plug it into a 240V power supply, No can't do that either power (...) (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains)
