(...) Tell you what Larry, I'll colour you bright red, yellow and blue and see if that helps clear things up! :-) I guess these have all looked European in the past. The "DB" stickers didn't help matters. Being British though, they look as foreign (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

We need a new train set in the shops not just from LEGO direct so that ordinary children see them and buy them. Lego trains should not just be for those with internet access. It should be based on a real train. David (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I was hoping there would be a Christmas special of the Santa Fe loco + motor + two of the passenger Santa Fe cars + one Santa Fe baggage car. Where did you hear about the 5 car offer ? Regards, David (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

I was taking a look at the Hogwort's Express last night, terrible how they used road wheels for the model. but I like the outline of the engine. Therefore, I'll use it to make my first MOC I've built in over a year...a steam turbine electric. Has (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I was in the American model shop in Enfield and we had constraints that the model shop in Billund did not have. (Windsor Locks was just opening in my time and the Billund shop was handling their models.) We were not (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

Fellow trainheads, after an extended hiatus I announce my full return to the medium which I just can't give up for building trains no matter how hard I tried. Why the extended hiatus? Due to significant changes in my life, including a new job (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.people, lugnet.general)

Hello Jason, (...) With the exception of the Metroliner, this is exactly why I don't own any of these sets. I have to admit I am tempted to get some of them just for parts, because they do have really cool parts. But I am more into 12V anyway, even (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I think the 4561 still serves a purpose as an entry level set. It's the only train set that you can get and run right out of the box. So I think it will stay around. jt (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

I would love to see an Orient Express! But seriously, the "Americanization" of the trains has got me as well. A revised 7745 TGV (fell in love when I first saw it in '85) using more current parts or something really new as an ICE would certainly (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) A great way for TLC to get their foot in the door WRT to European trains would be to get a licensing agreement with Britt Allcroft and produce some Thomas trains.

Actually the bricks I had available in the model shop had everything to do with the inventory that Lego had. Where do you think we got our bricks from? You think that they would be unwilling to send us the elements we wanted if they had them? The (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)
