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)

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.
