The Mid-South Lego Train Club took first place at the GATS show in Memphis, TN this weekend! Our next show is in Pine Bluff, AR at the Arkansas Railroad Museum on April 5, 2003 (11 a.m. - 5 p.m.). The layout itself was about 20' x 25' and included a (...) (22 years ago, 10-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

This weekend the North Georgia LEGO Train Club presented a layout at the NMRA Piedmont Division Train show in Cobb County Georgia. The space we where given was a bit tight but we managed to pull off a nice detailed layout. The display featured a (...)

(...) Thanks Stefan! Actually, the extra set of small train wheels is just to balance out the look. Personally, I think it looks fine either way. If we could have used just one drive wheel instead of needing them on each side, we would have ended up (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

Yeah, I've been saying for the longest time that MARTA needs to go from hub and spoke system to a series of loops... imagine MARTA's east line runing up to Stone Mountain, out to Snellville/Lawrenceville, to Duluth, then right along 85 to Doraville (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

Very cool! Don't worry about it being oversized though. You should see an O-gauge handcar! :^P The little guys with the Studio heads are a great touch. and the basketball legs are a stroke of genius, I must say. I can't understand why you need three (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

No curves, that's kind of the joke of the MARTA system. I only has two lines, one East and West and another North and South. And they wonder why the system is so unused...it really needs to have stops at places people want to go for them to want to (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

I like the detail on the elevated train, including the traffic light hanging under the track. We had a working elevated train at one time, a simple Mindstorm system controlled it going back and forth. It was modeled after the local MARTA train line (...)
