(...) As many a Michlugger can attest to, running 3 monorails at one time is a surefire accident in the works. We frequently run 2 or 3 at our shows, and eventually 1 or 2 will end up off the track and on the layout. We try to look out for it, and (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)

Added lugnet.trains since it wasn't posted to originally and at least one massive monorail collector is not that much into space (hi Cary!). (...)

Recently I got the chance to visit the PNLTC mall layout, and let me say that it was great! What an excellent opportunity for displaying a layout, I can only hope that other LTCs can be as fortunate to find a way to set up more long term layouts. (...)

(...) At least 95% of these waggons have been new (or like new). All we did, was giving them a short look on the bottom side: if a wheel block is not attached perfectly, then the wagon will run on only 3 wheels and cause higher friction. All waggons (...)

My previous V188 double-diesel was solidly built...too much so, for I had to raise the controller up two or three notches just so it could keep (...)
