(...) Yes Mark, on April the first I wanted to post about an IR-reciever in form of a "4x4 block, 2 plates high plus the 2x2 bulb on top". That is correct. And of course it was April Fool's Day (so maybe LUGNET was not working properly). ;-) Ben (19 years ago, 2-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) So you're saying this is a 4x4 block, 2 plates high plus the 2x2 bulb on top? Just want to be sure of the correct information :-) Mark (19 years ago, 2-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Rosco, Todd must have implemented a tool which deletes all "0." in messages coming from me on April Fools Day. Of course I meant to have typed "0.66". But nevertheless: you got me. And I admit this wasn't my best April Fools Joke. It is (...) (19 years ago, 2-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I tend to agree. I get a lot of the "I didn't know Lego made trains" at train shows and give them the standard spiel, "Yes, long time, mostly mail order, etc." We've done shows with a train set or two available for sale (MSRP) and IIRC have (...) (19 years ago, 2-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains)

--snip--- I'm sure this has been posted somewhere but I've been out of the LEGO loop for about a year now. What is this RC Track and IR Train that I keep reading about? And images, links, thanks? -AHui (19 years ago, 1-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi Train Fans! Some may have heard about the AFOL group which co-worked with LEGO on Mindstorms-NXT (at least as a kind of feedback group). Then there is the group of Ambassadors and who will wonder: there is a group of train fans organised to give (...) (19 years ago, 1-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains)
