(...) It's good to hear they will act. Does this mean you create needlepoint and collect Lego? Interesting combination of hobbies. (...) Copyright law is complex.

--snip-- (...) That is terribly dishonest thievery (there is no other word). Can you contact eBay and ask them to retract the auctions for selling stolen IP? By posting on BS you do not give up your rights and you own the copyright for the design (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jun-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I love your train station using the Cafe Corner pieces. Nice work using the windows to make a clear platform roof. I never thought to try a vintage depot using the CC pieces. Very nice work! -Dave (17 years ago, 20-Jun-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Here's another one from me (from the Love Missile). I'm not 100% certain it works but figure it's more than likely. The connection to the magnet may be too weak for use in a long train. (3 URLs) MPD> Tim (17 years ago, 20-Jun-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Right - it seems to be aimed at new-to-the-scene RC train folks, to expand their stuff, while still a bit attractive to 9v powered railers. Seems incomplete to have just the facade of a roof instead of a fully sloped one. What's with the red (...) (17 years ago, 19-Jun-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
