Seems like this is about all I post about now. We've completed another LaCrosse show. It was nice have John Neal down there so I could send anyone who asked me about how to start a Lego train club over to him. I also sent anyone who asked how to (...) (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains)

Set 10183 has been postponed, at least in the Netherlands...? Not the 19th like it was originally promised but the 23rd of March... (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains)

Simply being able to filter by 'Trains' and 'Cool Creations' together would be a big help, but it seems they couldn't achieve that. It's a shame it takes such a major overhaul for (...)

(...) Wow, if AFOL's continue to provide stuff like this site, LEGO will not have to do any work. Get AFOL's to design them, get AFOL's to help people find them, get help from AFOL's to market them--just provide the parts. And even that is now (...)
