(...) You really try to tell me you put a record train to track and have not documented it? That's too bad... How are we supposed to break your record, when we do not know what numbers are to beat? FGLTC records are quite clear: 1. - put more than (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I checked your page again, and it looks like you added some other details as well regarding this. That's also a much "cleaner" record in the sense that you pulled it like a real train (front only). Very nice work! -- Tony Hafner (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I don't think we mentioned this particular record at the time. We don't have it documented and I'm totally going from memory. (...) No, the *loop* was more like 240 feet or so. I mean that the *train* was somewhere around 150 feet. The layout (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) And now there is the 3rd new 7-wide waggon in 3 days... But no big deal this time: more or less just a copy of the first waggon, but with different freight and in colour brown. I love these flap pieces: I have similar waggons (but 6-w) in (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) - well done for a busy man! (...) In the middel there are just the 2 hubs. At the end there are on each side 1 8860 hub, a 395 wheel with grey tyre(from set 100) and on the end a 4x4 radar dish. What I loved most on my model is a really small (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Ok, I will change that text: it is obviously wrong - my mistake. But in real life speed records with trains have to be made in both directions and for long Lego train records, I am of the opinion that a record should only count if the long (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
