This year's Brickvention Build-In-Bag challenge was: [LEGOSet 4837] I was quite taken by the set, and the possibilities of rebuilding it to minifig scale, but preserving the gauge and, more or less, the width. Eventually, the wheel arrangement, the (...) (17 years ago, 22-Mar-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!

Hi all, Aside from coding a feed myself, has anyone come up with an RSS feed of only lugnet.trains?
