(...) Yep, I have. Accoording to the Dutch Catalogue (URL) complete range of Lego trains will come to the Netherlands. But this is just one theme. The new adventurers (Amazonia?) will not be available here. Mark "If it ain't Lego it don't count" (26 years ago, 21-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

Please, Larry, do not omit the diesels and their sand needs as well. Isn't it stored in the nose? BTW the whole issue of using larger drivers, 6 drivers, etc., is mute (sic) because the turning radius of Lego track is too sharp- what to do about (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

I'm a purist. No non TLG elements sully my creations. I'm fairly pedantic about it(1) too. But I'd make a big fat exception for train specific LEGO compatible elements that came from elsewhere. The PNLTC gang had a project afoot for drivers but it (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)
