I thought I had a good idea of trying to breathe life back into lugnet.trains. It last a while, but seems things are going dormant again. Is there a better forum to use that we can all agree on? Merry Christmas! Rob (13 years ago, 30-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Rob, I still had two sets (1 opened + 1 sealed) till fall last year. I got them in a sale for 50 Eur (aka. 50% off). I sold them for a small fortune and realized by high interest, that I could have even asked much higher prices than I actually (...) (13 years ago, 22-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

Looking for a holiday train to go around my tree. Can be open/used. I realize the set is discontinued but I don't want to spend a fortune either. Thanks! Rob (13 years ago, 21-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)
