Hey Josh, Some clarity on that loco pilot plow... Are you referring to the small plow on the front of diesels say about 2- 2.5 feet tall and train width wide that sits just in front of the lead wheels? If so I have got something that might work for (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

After MANY, MANY, MANY tries I still have not managed to build a good looking Loco Pilot plow! Has anyone suceeded? I need it 8 wide, my most recent tries were 10 & 6 wide:-(... Don't ask for me to outline my tries, if you suggest it I'll say (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm happy with the 2 I purchased - but will probably buy more non-numbered ones (assuming they will be available). Though I'd probably be interested in swapping a number packet for A0469 (my Lugnet number) if it becomes available. ROSCO (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.trains)

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)

(...) I, for one, will be glad to purchase sets without the number tile. While I'm glad it helped spur interest in buying the Super Chief, I don't think it will mean much in the future as far as value. I think the set stands on it's own. The limited (...)

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 (...)
