(...) Another thing to do is if a kid gets abandoned for very long is to get the show staff (if you are displaying at a regular show) involved. It should not be the responsibility of vendors and demonstrators to police this. (...) That of course is (...) (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)

(...) A loan of a K-8 would be a great way to stock a KRR. All you'd have to add then would be track, a few train motors, some train wheels and some couplers, and possibly some large plates. I would assume one would pre-stock the KRR with some (...) (24 years ago, 19-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)
