But what about the Web Hosting part, there are companies that charge by the month and by the year. I also guess there maybe company or two (...)

(...) lol Yes and No. Yes, of course, because they *are* LEGO, BUT <hell> no, because if one of us did the *exact same thing* LEGO did, we (it) would be called impure.

  Re: GATS Tampa Show...
 
I'm starting to be pursuaded that 8 wide is indeed superior to 6 wide. I may even build my next passinger train in that scale. But first I'd like to see some models that have been built in the 8 wide scale. Do you know any websites that show models (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)

  Re: Powering trains w/ RCX
 
I was talking more in a sense of replacement/repair of damaged units. I would not be surprised if the retail price of each starts to change with shifts in demand.
