This morning, I received the februari issue of Model Railroader. This is a
monthly magazine for the model railroad fan. Yes, my money goes there as
well as to Lego.
On page 61, my eyes got caught on a page-size add for Lego!
See http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Markassius/Media/hpim0114.jpg
(Sorry about the out-of-focus thingy; I'm just learning to use my new digicam.)
This shows that Lego is going strong with their train-line. This magazine
isn't just a buy-one-get-three-free mag, no, it is the top of the bill for
american (and over-seas) model railroaders! And to see my two major hobbies
coming together like this is great!
I hope 2003 will bring more great train sets like the Santa Fe ones.

| This is truely thrilling to see. However, the line about a "wide variety of accessories" gave me a chuckle. I would hope that this means additional accessories such as automated points, crossing gates, etc are coming down the pike... Regardless of (...) (22 years ago, 31-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains)
