(...) Nah, I'm done spending on grey 1x4x3 train windows - I have 37 (maybe more?) stacked and waiting for me to have time to BUILD with, and I'm not going to think about needing any more until I use those up. But if someone offers them to me in a (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Lego should better release nice new trains with "real" train doors and windows. The effort do do a good set wouldn't be too high. Just imagine a pair of green passenger cars. Additional they could sell a brown 3. class waggon and a dark grey (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If you want to create some heavy diesel enginges, the look at the Russain 2TE10 (2TEx), og the larger 3TE10 or 4TE10 - for the 4TE10 you'll need 8 motors.... Look at SEIS (Steam Engine IS). (URL) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

Big snip of my own ramblings... What I would like from LEGO is 1. Better models for me and for the kids/people that would be attracted to LEGO trains if the models were better. By better I mean 7740, 7742, 7725, 7750, 4558, 4563 better, not PNLTC, (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

I think if they were to reissue old sets, it would be neat if they changed them somewhat. I know creating a new piece would add to the cost, but.... just think how many US-centric people would buy a Metroliner with 1x4xTWO windows in it! They (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Wayne, to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't buy them. Or I should say, I would buy them if the price was right (50% off), just like I would any other set marked down like that. For instance, I own about 7 4565s and about 7 4561s. But those sets (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
