(...) Well the Blast furnace as a HO model is about 27 1/2" by 10 1/4". So since lego is about O, and HO is half of O. Just the blast furnace would measure 4 by 2 feet(27x2 by 10x2) THATS BIG, and thats just one component of the whole shabang! Well (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If there is any logic ( and I assume there would be), then it would be that the stores don't *want* the train stuff to sell. For example, look at Target's luck with selling the 4561. Now I have a pretty good idea how well they sold at retail (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)
