Hello all, rtlToronto has a LEGO Train Show this past weekend at Lillian H. Smith Library. A good time was had by all. There were approximately 150-200 folks who took the time to have a boo at our layout. The layout was done by Derek, Jeff E, Jeff (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

I've got most of the stuff I will need for the train history session, but there's a few items I'd like to borrow if possible.

I may have to try your method and see what I can do. Thanks for passing it on... Tom (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

While breaking down some sets from a recent clearance run, I came across an interesting new part... 42607. It looks like a wing 12 x 6 with notched corners, but it has the distinction of having a technic brick (2 x 4) molded into the inboard end. (...)
