| (...) Funny, when I see a fine looking (when on static display) 8 wide model on a curve, even a curve/straight/curve curve, the word that comes to mind is "ridiculous". If and when LEGO ever makes decent radii, I might switch. But till then, no. I (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
