| | | | | | (...) This image is better than the one we had before, (mirror Spock's) and it is now clear, to me anyway, that the unit is not powered, but that the middle wheel picks up motion from the track. Again, Will C. did it right, this is a bit of an (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | | | I do not like the new sets. I do not think that Lego is doing anything new or exciting. The company is going away from sets that represent new ideas or complex designs. (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | | | | (...) I want one anyway! (...) The important point is, how can I get one. The closest I can come is a friend in Iceland, and the postage would be more than the sets, even if he can find them. So do you have a contact in the Netherlands that is (...)

| | | | | | | (...) Agreed. I'd characterise it as a suspension bridge, though, as I saw no sign of a mechanism. The plate is being unloaded from the truck by hand. I have no idea what the fig on the top is doing, though. Perhaps he's a vandal, getting ready to (...) (26 years ago, 5-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | The sets are very disappointing. I was very excited by the Austrian Rail Car, which I was never able to find, and sets like the Metroliner. The Metroliner at least looked sort of real and had a general transportation theme. Now, we have all sorts of (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)
