Number of posts in lugnet.trains. Although Robotics and Star Wars have more posts and now castle gets more posts than trains, we are still over 4% of the news traffic on lugnet. I think that the number of posts seems to be increasing rather quickly (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

Hi all, Just doing some leasurely reading on (URL) set in 1992 "A Guinness record in railway line construction is set - 545 metres of LEGO rails with three model locomotives." So is the 2000 feet layout still up for the challenge? Santosh (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Right, if they used a 2x2 brick they would then need a 3x3 plate which doesn't exist. Thanks! /Eric McC/ (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) There is a 2x3 plate that fits on top of the 1x2 plate in the next step. The studs from the 1x2 fit into the 'holes' of the 2x3, so the 1x2 tile is needed, otherwise the smokestack wouldn't fit on it at all. JohnG, GMLTC (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
