Amazing models (I love the crane especially, being a vehicle headed type) and of course an amazing "shopping center". What kind of a shopping fair is this? A fan created one?

That crane is quite gorgeous! Two questions: 1. Does it all fold away or it is it really a static display model? 2. As far as I can see from the images it doesn't have a hook or anything to actually lift objects. Does it have a method for lifting (...) (24 years ago, 15-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

(...) John, Your locomotive is quite excellent. However,it looks more to me like a GP-40 (without dynamic brakes) rather than an SD-50. The GP-40 is a four motor diesel, and your engine is a dead ringer. -Harvey (24 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

Do you mean you need an adapter from 230V 50Hz to 110V 60Hz? I'm sure something exists. Alternatively you could try and source an American 12V Lego Train Controller. Nicholas Allan Lars Brandt <lfbrandt@home.com> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
