I found a set with the viechles and the figures gone, and all that's left is 1 of the small (...) (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
 
  What do you do with multiple Blue Hoppers?
 
When you have four copies of the Blue Hopper #4536, what do you build? Why two blue hoppers, of course. (URL) included are pictures of my attempts at RoadRailers, see the bottom of the above page. -- Paul (URL) (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
