No slight taken as I mentioned it was purely an internal LEGO thing, lack of proper passing of the torch. Hopefully we can all keep the 9v train line alive. SteveB (18 years ago, 4-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains)

I think this is a great thing that Eric has taken on. Someone needs to get the ball rolling, and he appears to be doing just that. As far as ILTCO goes, what exactly is the status of things there? There doesn't ever really seem to be anything going (...) (18 years ago, 6-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains)
