(...) OK, As a general information post: I have 2 spare 4555's on order. Lego Canada still has them at $65 cdn each now (on sale). If anyone wants one at cost plus or trade, LMK. James Powell (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I think also that TLC should make new town windows. Between 1957-77, TLC made 9 different window types. Today we have the 2x2, the 4x3 and a few large 4x5, 4x6 etc windows, but not the variety of the classic era. I woundn't mind if they (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

My daughter's school project this term is transport, so we've been playing with our 9v trains quite a bit. At the weekend we got around to thinking about building a station. The main trains we are using right now are 2 4559s we have (4558 in the (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.general)
