(...) 4558, 4547, and 4554 have been discontinued for quite a while, so chances of finding them in a store are next to zero. 4565s are still available from stores in Europe if you're desperate (Such as Hamleys & Harrods in London, or LEGOLAND (...) (24 years ago, 3-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

Does anyone know what happened to Joe Davenports Lego Page, or the site he based some of his creations off? ( i believe the other site was by Michael Dorneich?) they seem to have dissappeared. I loved Joe's site the most of all lego train sites, (...) (24 years ago, 3-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

Okay, so here's the suggestion. Whoever wants to volunteer to do this updating for Matt, go to the page to be updated, choose "View source," download the page to your own system, make the changes, email the new html pages and any source data to (...) (24 years ago, 3-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

I dunno about you guys, but i'm nervous as hell, the direction lego has been going with sets like 4561 and there new station (god, whoever designed those needs a good slap in the face, or at least a lesson from the person who designed 4554 and 2150) (...) (24 years ago, 3-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Well, LEGO trains have changed voltages a lot, from 12v to 4.5v to 9v or whatever, and something new probably means some new train system, like maybe DCC (that'd be cool), or a new voltage, although I don't see what is wrong with the current (...) (24 years ago, 3-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

Hey robin, i'm new on lugnet, and my train and town layout is under construction, so is my website, but i think that's a good idea. It would be neat to have a lego train central, where all the clubs and personal sites could be linked through one (...) (24 years ago, 3-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

Does Anyone Know where i can find these sets, auctions and other internet sales aside? i would be mostly interested in a trade. I have 100's of thousands of lego pieces in my collection, so i'm sure i'll have what you need. Thanks. Braden Fox (24 years ago, 3-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

Steve and Fans of LEGO Trains, How about we go one step further. How about a World Wide LEGO Train Association (WWLTA?) with a web site and maybe a news letter.

These are all great and very important questions. As a start I really wanted to just get a list of MOCs. It will be hard to judge the quality of a MOC with bad photos but with that in mind hopefully we can judge more fairly based on MOC and not (...) (24 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
