I noticed that you have received Sante Fe 10020 #A0377. That happens to be my Lugnet membership number. I would like to see if you would trade me that number (the little package with numbered tile and certificate) for a lower number (#A0354). Thank (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

Wow! What an amazing model. At first I didn't believe my eyes when I opened the little thumbnail at brickshelf. I wish I had that many tiles. But the downpart is, that using this many tiles you don't see a lot of studs anymore, which should be (...)
