Nick, A scam is afoot--unless this "iwata" guy actually thinks this set is worth $295. I just wrote him an email telling him he's getting ripped off. Out of concern for my fellow, SANE LegoManiac. By the way, I sold this set, opened but in good (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

In June, I purchased a mint out of package (w/ original package included) 4559 Cargo Rail for $92. I felt I got a pretty good deal. The person lived about 10 min away from me so the shipping was nil, all the parts were clean, seperated into plastic (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | NMRA 2000 Successful
|

Well, the show was both stressful and successful. Many positive comments and it looks like we have a good amount of momentum to go on. We even came across a Lego Train Fan who knew nothing of Lugnet or BayLUG, but had been building Lego Train MOCs (...)

Another "future" point that Mike & I talked about: a "drive-in" featuring a laptop showing a looping presentation of LUGNET train MOCs. This file could easily be created as a Powerpoint "pack & go" executable - it could even run on my Jornada 820, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.trains.org)

Speaking of cars, I believe that I have my Black tanker car (Castle wall corners on their sides and 6 wide radar dishes on the ends) still there. I suppose you could slap a BAYLTC logo on it and send it to Portland. That would at least get it in the (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)

Very cool indeed Eric!! What's the noise level like? I would think being that close to the ceiling you'd get quite a bit of noise, of course it being a steady sound of the trains running across the tracks could be a good thing. I think that would (...)
