 | | GMLTC layout on its way to Carlsbad!
|
|
It's official: The GMLTC train layout is on its way to LEGOLAND Carlsbad. The big truck pulled away from my house around 10 minutes ago. Hopefully it doesn't get lost in "the system", or our display won't be nearly as impressive... ;-) Hope to see (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce) !

Hmm.. Mr. Dictionary says Moose isn't an English word, it's Algonquin. Not fair game! Caboose is more Germanic, Dutch 'kabuis' being in that family along with English, so it still proves there's no telling about the rules. Sticking with English, (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) way (...) Suz, I agree the newest one (4561) isn't by itself a great set. But considering the affect you get when you put say 2 or 3 of them together, you get a fairly decent looking train.
