Oh...Perfect!!!  Now I know what to do with my future freight cars.

We need a ruling as to whether or not that constitutes mutilation:-)  I think
most would agree that cutting flex tubing *isn't* considered mutilation, >>since
it is a procedure from actual LEGO instuctions...

Yep. The mutilation is not the tubing cutting, it is in taking the wheel off
the car steering wheel part as the nub on the base is heat formed to hold
the wheel on, it's not intended to be removed.

But that wheel is so useful, I heartily concur with removing it and putting
it to use.

They've always been at the right lengths right out of the box. (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
