I am thinking of starting a 9v trains idea book made with ldrawn instructions and mabie some pictures of some of the large stuff such as the layouts of the train clubs (with permission, of course) Is there anyone interested? It will be done very (...) (25 years ago, 1-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

Jonathan, I, too, have had an idea such as this, although I have put it on the back burner with regards to my other projects. I do have a few suggestions: #1 - back off on the regulations. Just because DAT files are not available doesn't mean a (...) (25 years ago, 1-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

Oh sure, pick on the cripple kid.... I should make this perfectly clear; I have used MLCad with Virtual PC and it works. I have not used LDraw so I do not know if it works or not. Chris (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
