| | | | | LEGO Trains on trial?
|
| Hello everyone, I finally got a copy of the new LEGO S&H catalog. After paging through this I've noticed several new sets. Star Wars, Life On Mars, Trains.....did I say Trains? Silly me, I've noticed that 4565 ain't featured this time. What I did (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

We look at our layout as something akin to Miniland in LL-- not something that people would necessarily even be able to or try to emulate, but something (...)

| | | | | Re: Harry Potter speculation
|
| (...) Sure. Not a chance. The LEGO sets will be based on the movie, remember. The movie, unlike the book, has rather tight time constraints. Given, then, that the train will likely be a short scene, I'd be surprised to see a real train set (ie, (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.trains)

First there is the layout itself taking up the majority of the allocated space, then there is the Kids Railway and last we have a couple of information tables (also where our (...)
