Hi, While I'm far from an experienced train builder, I do carry a great interest in LEGO Trains, as well as trains/transport systems in general. A couple of weeks ago I took the LRC to Montreal from Toronto, and when we arrived I took a good look at (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

I gave the plates a try, but I didn't like it. So, I went with the low slopes. Now I have to come up with a logo. Thanks Lar, Chris P.S. Shouldn't John be chiming in right now with the observation that extreme low slopes would fit on an eight wide (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

OK, I have just decided to create the NO LTC. Read it however you want, "No LEGO Train Club" or "New Orleans LEGO Train Club". This train club will exist for only one reason; I want to submit a box car to the Kidvention/World Record attempt. I (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

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)
