Just got a 99% complete 7722 the other day in a bulk purchase. I've got a lot of 9v stuff and had never seen any 4.5v gear. Great stuff! The level crossing kill switch is very cool, as are the little things you clip to the track to reverse the train (...) (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I think we should have both an NMRA SIG, and an independant LTMA. There will be some duplication of energies, but an LTMA would probably be more capable of making itself visible outside the hobby (article in Mania Magazine, representation at (...) (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
