 | | Sante Fe Wish List —Benjamin Medinets
|
| | | I have been reading some of the interesting links some of the real Train-heads (well Rail Buffs) posted, and really like the idea of a seperate but detailed line just for the Sante Fe "series". I think it would be neat if there was a seperate coach, (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

The chances of getting a match (if you buy one of each) would be ~1:10,000,000 or 1:9,900,025 if we allow for BJ taking 5 from each run! (if my Y2 stats are correct... what (...)

I can't resist this one...if you already have one Santa Fe loc and buy one expansion pack, the chances of getting a match are 1:10,000 (or, 1:9995 to account for the 5 taken out by BJ), not 1/100,000,000=(1/10,000)^2.

The one in 99900025 chance is the chance you would have to get both A0006 and B0006 (or (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

There were actually different versions of the F (FT, F2, F3, F7), but the one chosen by TLC to model is a "300 class" (which were (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

The letter actually appears in the number board so the number we (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
