...In the pic http://www.execpc.com/~pfoster/nmra/gmltc38.jpg, what are those
girder pieces? I dont recognize them, but they'd be darn handy!

Those are 2x2 5h girders.

(...) ...Well, I think it might be the only choice we have! They don't take personal orders (like for the 13,592 2x4 red bricks I need), and they don't want to release good service packs (like a 20 of girders)... I think a night raid just might be (...) (26 years ago, 15-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
