Hey Y'all: I plan on buying one of the fine train sets currently available from Shop@Home and was wondering about a few things. I assume the sets that come with track are complete and will run with the given accessories. I gather that rather than an (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

The traditional 1x4x3 train windows are nice. But they aren't necessary, very nice models can be made without them. I made a custom club car that doesn't even use any of the specialized pieces (windows, doors etc) that come with the metroliner and (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
