Basically, just what the header says. I have avoided buying this train for a while now because I don't particularly like the look of it. But I have a feeling it may be the only modern looking cargo train available for a while (I have heard the new (...) (26 years ago, 12-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)

I hope my message doesn't imply that I simply base value on money - the 7740 is my favorite Lego train of all time - I wouldn't sell mine for $500. The prices I mentioned are just observations of how much these items typically go for in auctions (...) (26 years ago, 9-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)

Grahame, You would be a candidate for the Lego Hall of Shame thread on r.t.l. if you didn't buy this! I've put approximate values (according to TM) for some of these sets in your message: (...) $500 (...) $250 (...) $50 (...) $150 (...) $125 (...) (26 years ago, 9-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)

Michael, I used dry transfer decals for my steam engine ((URL) You can find these at most train hobby stores. A word of caution though, they are not easy to put on. And, it's going to put a foreign substance on your LEGO bricks. I'm not sure what (...) (26 years ago, 7-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)

I've done some experimenting with model train decals. You can buy dry decals and they apply quite easily and nicely onto LEGO bricks. O-scale prints match the LEGO train scale altough they might be a bit too big depending on your preference. As for (...) (26 years ago, 6-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)

Mike - You'd probably be real close if you looked for O scale decals. I've seen other LEGO train-heads use Kadee O scale couplers instead of the standard cylindrical magnets, and they seem to apply nicely to the existing LEGO train scale. Perhaps O (...) (26 years ago, 6-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)
