The text accompanying the picture reads: "Eventually, a spur off the mining tunnel was routed out near the ore processor and (...)

  Yellow 4.5 volt motor
 
Can anyone tell me what set the yellow 4.5 volt train motor came from, indeed, if the motor even came from a train set? Regards, Peter D. Simpson sterling@interalpha.co.uk (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Please identify train parts
 
Howdy I've never been into the train sets (sorry!), but a recent bulk purchase of a random box o' parts yielded lots of train parts. I am trying to decide if I should eBay the bunch or keep them just in case they'll come handy in a robot or space (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: 138
 
(...) yeah, i've heard of that sale. tis one is definitly sealed and the box is as good as it can be after thirty years in the backroom of a toyshop. the intersting thing is that i got a nearly complete 118 as well and it looks like they are the (...)

  Re: Lunar Mining Colony

You must have put quite a bit of time into planning the whole project (I read your link on Cbeams - very intersting - I've done similar (...)

  Re: Lunar Mining Colony
 
Brian, (...) (URL) I be one of many that say, wow. What an excellent example of how colonization might actually happen. You got the sense of real world space exploration. Great job!

  Re: Lunar Mining Colony
 
(...) I found it! It's right here... (...) The regolith is seriously good. I wanna see that in a castle set, now. :-, You've really captured a sense of lonliness, and the drudgery of building a new moonbase from scratch. I love it!

  Re: Metro Terminus - Work in progress
 
(...) Sorry, I dont know of any other that works. I tried the IP address too, but coudnt get there. My only suggesting is, or course, a later version of your browser! regards lawrence (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.trains)

(...) glass (...) Well, I just realized how to get the IP address, but it won't work (presumably because of the way the vanity hostname is processed). Is there another URL which works? Frank (who is getting really tired of AIX) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: 138
 
(...) Someone once paid DM 950 for a sealed 138 (not to me though, I'd have kept it). T.F. (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.appraisal)

  Re: Lunar Mining Colony
 
(...) Excellent. I love models on a grand scale. (currently constructing a 6x48stud baseplate station myself) The track is crying out to disappear into a tunnel where it meets the rockface. What explosives do you plan to use to move the legorock? (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: Would anyone here pay $500 for a MISB 7710 train?
 
My question would be, "How Bad do you want it and why"? Since I got back into lego I always asked myself while surfing ebay for Trains, "You've got to be kidding me they want how much for that"? I'm sure most of us with spare pieces around could (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.appraisal)
 
  Re: Would anyone here pay $500 for a MISB 7710 train?

I forget what he paid exactly but it was a MINT and I do mean MINT in sealed MINT box copy... it still smelled new when he took the shrinkwrap off in front of us and the box hadn't even (...)

  Re: Lunar Mining Colony
 
I scrounged grey parts from every set I have then threw in a handful of grey brick packs (5145) and some large grey baseplates acquired at discounts. For dark grey BURPS you've gotta love 6494 Mystic Mountian Time Lab, 6087 Knight Lords Castle, and (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
