  Or are there any good tricks (comprehensive lego parts vendor search engines
or software or some other kind) that will allow me to put together (in some
optimized fashion so that I'm not contacting 50 differnet vendors) all the parts
that I need to build the locomotive above?

  Help appreciated.

Hi Pat,

You could try the latest version of BrikTrak http://www.briktrak.com/

It's still officially beta, but generally works pretty well. It allows you to
import an MPD file, and produce an XML file of the parts list suitable for
uploading to your bricklink wanted list http://www.bricklink.com/wantedXML.asp

You can then view the parts availability by shop, and choose the best
combination of shops to buy parts from. I have used this a couple of times with
good results.

Sounds very interesting.  I'll give it a try.  Thanx Rosco.
