| O, wow... Gianluca, your EuroCity Express train is gorgeous. I love the skirting about the wheels on the locomotives. It looks like the wheels and the skirting pivot together. Is that true? If so, the skirting fits flush with the central (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

I could probably design up a 6 wide version of a wrecker crane and boom car if there was interest... not sure I can top Gianluca if I stick to 6 wide, that crane is awesome... Currently my next (...)

| I am really impressed by the Saabs and the Ferraris - unbelievable that you've managed to capture the look of the vehicles in the restrictions of 4-wide scaling. The Citroen Van looks really good as well, the grey colouring and textured sides (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

| (...) You can still buy 4561 and 4565 in regular retail stores (for 4561 only I think), or through the Shop at Home catalog. Since you can still get them, and since LEGO has not publicly stated that they are no longer making 9v trains (or did I miss (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

| (...) Mr. Watson, As you may well know, the 4.5 and 12V sets are no longer offered by LEGO. 9V sets are by far the most reliable, but LEGO could have been more imaginative in designing these sets (the popular notion is that LEGO 'juniorized' the 9V (...)

| (...) Bite your Teutonic tongue, Ben-- it is great *because* it is 8 wide. I'm kidding, but I'm serious, too. You simply can't make those models like that (shrouding the trucks on the engines, for instance) in 6 wide. And to Gianluca-- bravo! You (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
