(...) A few tips to make things a little safer; I use the blade of a miniature penknife to do my gouging, not a scalpel. Always cut towards the central frame of the wheelset, then flick the debris out - do it in one go for the smoothest result. You (...) (19 years ago, 26-Feb-06, to lugnet.color, lugnet.trains)

I've visited all the links you've pointed me to, and when I dug out my Santa Fe out of (...) (19 years ago, 25-Feb-06, to lugnet.color, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Dear Anthony, I never had the intention to be in any way "harsh" to you. If you felt like that I have to apologize. I just feel still bad with the "new" MEGA-Blok like colors. And I got warned never ever to mention these in LUGNET trains (or I (...) (19 years ago, 25-Feb-06, to lugnet.color, lugnet.trains)

It was partly directed at TLC, but I think it was mostly directed at the LUGNET community, who seem to want absolutely all color talk banished to (...)

(...) Not sure why Ben was so overly harsh on you there Sava, but any replacement wheels are bound to be new gray (which thankfully isn't as bad as the shift between the dk gray), since they're made for the BNSF Loco in that color.
