| | | | | (...) Dear Jake, that is from Michel Brachmond. Although he is from Luxemburg he is a FGLTC member and has joined the FGLTC meetings 4 times so far (left hand in this picture).

| | | | | (...) Technically that's a "Rotary" rather than a snowblower or a snowplow. Snowblowers and snowplows are things you mount on the front of tractors or trucks (at their very largest) and aren't used by "real railroaders". If it wasn't a rotary it (...)

Seriously that one is nice because it's closer to the proper length... it actually has two trucks. I've not seen a one truck (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | (...) Actually, I was a little hesitant to even offer that one up. I built it 4 years ago, modeling from a USA Trains catalog, and it's not very good (although at the time I thought it was the cat's meow;-) That is basically an example of a really (...)

| | | | | | (...) I'm positively amazed: really 4 years old (from the stone age of Lego modelling)? And I have to disagree: it is a very good model. I really like it and it looks perfectly like the "rotary" that has been in those years in the "Maerklin" (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | Hey Will- So, it took a Snowblower header to delurk you, eh;-) I just wanted to say that about the same time LUGNET came online (Fall '97) was about the same time *I* came online and one of the first train MOCs I saw which wow'ed me was your rotary (...)
