(...) Thats it all right. As to why, it is indeed for safety. It turns out that a small cylinder is stronger than a big one, for the same wall thickness. Also, if you lose one, you still have 19 left. (26 years ago, 23-Nov-98, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)

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)
