(...) I jumped on the LEGO train a little late. So now I'm spending huge $$$ to get caught up. But now I am broke. So Scott, the next one is yours. BTW - Larry, with the addition of this club car, I believe I will be 9v train complete. Russ Redmyer (...) (25 years ago, 25-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

|
|
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)

I'm of two minds here. I think being inside an organization is often a way to effect change. After all, that's why I was a registered Democrat the whole time we lived in NY, Democrats were where the power was. Never gave up on being Libertarian. So (...) (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
