Great page, Ben--very informative! I have an old motor from the 70's from an unknown set; I'll have to take a close look at it to see which variety it is. One small nit--the red 12V motor came in the 7750 as well as the 7727 and 7730, didn't it? (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

In Georgia it's $40 to order the tag, you can order it anytime of the year (it used to be that you could only order them during certain months) and then you have to pay a small fee every year on top of the regular registration fees.
