I believe that PLM (what the models and the casing were called. It's short for
Poduct Line Model) featured RoboForce and Exploriens. The PLMs were built by
Enfield model-builders for a long time untill about 1999. They stopped coming
(budget reasons). I then took the PLMs on as my own projects and babies. I
continued to build new ones and refresh them until LEGO Brand Retail decided to
do away with them in a slight remodel of our store. It was a sad day. :(
Anyways, they were great stuff!
I believe there are many pictures of the LOM Truck Tour floating around the
'net. The truck sits in Enfield as of right now. I have a great Life on Mars
Truck Tour shirt taht has the truck on the back surrounded by the LOM aliens and
says 'staff' on the front.
