NOBODY makes better eurotrash passenger than James. Nobody. Each of his creations tops the last. Wow. A Talgo train! Who would have thunk it. What a clever mechanism. And in only 6 wide to boot. Now pendularize it! :-) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

Your right, I'm against 8 wide and havn't built any 8 wide. Why not? Lots of reasons: 1) 8 wide demands larger scenery and buildings. If your logic for building 8 wide is because LEGO minifig trucks are 6 wide then you should make all your buildings (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Not to be picky, but there have been 3 voltages: 4.5v, 9v, and 12v. I've never seen any 12v and played with 4.5v once, a long time ago, so I can't comment on the gauge of the different tracks. Ben Roller (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
