  Re: Level Crossing Barrier
 
(...) This is generous offer and I'd like to take you up on it. Before I do, what are the possibilities of getting a replacement direct from Lego themselves? People here (Lugnet in general) often talk of Lego providing replacements for missing items (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  RE: New Engine Pics
 
Hi Jim, Unfortunately, the engine is a better looker than it is a runner. Being pushed by the motor in the tender, combined with the doubled flanged, spoked wheels and low "tie-scraping" pilot pivot bar, (one of the compromises to get a lot of open (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: California Lego Train Club
 
(...) How about Bakersfield? It's pretty close to dead center. I happen to be a resident of this dismal rut, and might take interest in coordinating such a meeting of the minds. What kind of floor space are we talking about? I've never (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.fno, lugnet.loc.us.ca.la, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Level Crossing Barrier
 
(...) This part is easy to replace!. All you have to do is buy another pack of points from lego, as they include 3 of them with each pack. Otherwise, I could send you one if you really need it. James Powell (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: WWLTC
 
(...) Sounds like a nice idea to me. We could also (slowly) work on a nice reference to all the club and personal web sites. It might also be nice to make space available to new clubs which don't have the resources to have their own web site yet (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: Soft Opening
 
(...) ImageMagick will do mass thumbnails. Maybe not as auto-magically as some other tools, but it's free, and it runs on any platform. Steve (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: My new Engine
 
(...) I was able to look at the pictures so no need unless you wanted to add captions. Hope to see more work from you (says me who hasn't even scanned the pictures I have so far...need to get a digital camera). (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Soft Opening
 
I use Front Page (but only the editor) and it has a thumb nail maker built in. A real time saver. For all the bad-mouthing I hear about Front Page I generally like it (I do love to bash MS when ever possible). The latest Photoshop has a batch mode (...)

  Re: Soft Opening
 
Steve- Thanks! I was just trying to live up to the standards the pnltc.org site sets. <g> The thumbnail overlays are from a program called debabbelizer that I used to create them. I haven't sprung for the full verision yet, and the demo splashes the (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: Soft Opening
 
(...) I'll jump in and reply here - that 'shadow' text is from the tool John used to create the thumbnails. If anyone knows of a good tool - preferably 'freeware' <grin> - to create thumbnail images, let us know! Yesterday J3 was doing the scanning, (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains.org)
