Chris, I use 1/4 stick on numbers and letter from Staples or Office Depot they come in 4 or 5 colors. Also I'v used white labels but they don't come off well, so I now print on sticky back paper it seem to works better. See Ya... Got to get back to (...) (26 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Greetings! This is my first post. My train-loving 6.5-year-old son just received Lego Loco and is eager to send postcards to a real person - he's a little bored with sending them to the Train Engineer, Santa, the Skeleton, etc. (Actually, he (...) (26 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

To stripe doors, or other bricks for that matter, I use electrical tape in various colors. Most electrical supply stores have it available in about 10 different colors, most of which match Lego pretty well. I like it because it goes on easy, it's (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Cut is such an ugly word...a small piece of electrical tape will open (disconnect) the circuit. However, if the wheels are on opposite sides of the cut/tape then a short occurs again. I think you need two cuts/tapes to keep the circuit open. Chris (...) (26 years ago, 27-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
