| (...) My guess is that when we have enough sets registered to see the final pattern it will tell us how many sets there are on a pallet. The sets will come off the line and be put in boxes, the boxes will be placed on a pallet. A pallet would be the (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

Would you be willing to accept an instruction booklet that is abbreviated by 8 pages? How about getting parts that are (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Allow me;-) F is the *EMD* (builder) designation for the type of locomotive used to pull the Super Chief. 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)

| (...) 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 chances of getting (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
