I was reading a discussion thread the other day on set 5561, and was wondering why the interest in it? Its a Model Team set, does it have a special piece that is only available in it? Just curious. (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

While he is from the "paint and stickers are OK" school of modeling, which I don't normally hold truck with, (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)

Holy Cow, look who delurked;-) Nice model and photo detail; perhaps you could share some of your photography secrets with us camera-impaired types? BTW, think you can make it to La Crosse in March? -John (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)

I have made it in both a windows metafile, which will retain its sharpness regardless of the size it is printed, which is excellent for banners, and a gif for easy viewing. It can be (...)

Anyways, I won't be able to make the LaCrosse show (again :-( ) due to a conflict with one of my local shows. Just to let those (...)

Ben, Hi. A couple years ago I installed caternary over most of my layout. The support masts are all Lego elements but the wire is not. I use HO scale Maerklin pantographs to pick-up power on the engines (see "(URL) A wire runs down into the motor (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
