   OK, I have just decided to create the NO LTC. Read it however you want, "No LEGO Train Club" or "New Orleans LEGO Train Club".

        GFLTC Flat Roof Boxcar (was: Box cars for display at the "Kidvention") —Robin Werner
   I now have a preliminary scan of GFLTC Boxcar for the upcoming Kidvention and PNLTC World Record Attempt. The 6 x 24 stud boxcar has a flat roof and mock doors. Now I just need to make better artwork for the sides and mail it to GMLTC. Check it out: (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)
