I've been working on a "GO" like train for a while. I call it a (...) (23 years ago, 18-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

If I had a longer wagon (which I plan to make in the future) I will incorperate that into the design. (...) If I ever get a chance (...) (23 years ago, 18-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

There is a yard immediately next to I-5 between our campsite and Legoland where various Coaster cars and locs were always parked. I really wanted to pull over and get (...)

I've got a passenger train with cars ranging from 42 to 50 studs long and I've had surprisingly good luck running it. At LLCA a couple of months back, it was able to (...)
