Hello everyone! I stayed up real late last night and took pictures of the Wild West theme trains I have recently built (and am still building). Tonight I stayed up real late and posted the pictures and did a little re-modelling of my Brickmani site. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Looks great! I especially like the showcase idea! Explain now, do these trains come out and run on the layout, or are they show pieces? Also, is that a new logo? You guys need shirts, we need to talk;-) -John GMLTC (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)
