(...) I got a good chuckle out of Xango, the "T-Wrecks"! Not only an amusing creation but a very inclusive work, making good use of lettering and mosaics. Very nice! -Jordan (18 years ago, 16-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.ulug, FTX)

(...) Not at all. It's actually quite practical. Let's face it-- the 9 volt LEGO train system is doomed for extinction. Soon there will be no more metal track being produced, and the electric train motor will be discontinued as well. We all know (...) (18 years ago, 15-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
