* A certain few parts that are crucial to keep in the old colors will likely be
created as service pack type items. An example of this would be the 9v train
track. I am interested in getting feedback from you (via this thread) on which

9 volt track is a must.  How about releasing different track geometry at the
same time.  If you are going to make a special run any way....

Here's a thought...make the current 9V track with the "old" dark gray.  Any new
track geometries---make them the "NEW" Gray.

Result--those who want new track geometries will eventually wind up filtering
into new gray colors...and you can easily distinguish what kind of curvature you
have by comparing colors of track...

I don't want to start a flam war but using color to identify track geometry is
probably a bad idea. This is mostly because it breaks up the continuity at least
in a color sense. A better solution would be to mold an identifying mark on the
under side of the track. Now this brings up the new track geometry so rather
than start a side thread I will end with this: This is just my opinion in
response to Scott’s post, please don't start a thread with it.

Thanks,
OnDrew

Or a flan war.  Of course food fights tend to get messy.

I propose a FRAME war, in which the opposing sides smash pictures over their
opponents' heads.  I see great opportunity for Covert Photo Ops.

But, he said 'flam war', which sounds to me like drummers battling over
rudiments(1), which should quickly descend into the throwing of sticks, cymbals,
etc. Highly entertaining...;-)

Peace and percussion,

(1) Do look up 'flam' if you are puzzled.

Sticking it to him with cymbalic logic to drum a little sense into the thick
skin stretched over his head?

These puns have to be done properly, you know.

Yes, sorry.  I always get caught in that snare--I hadn't considered the

Maybe he meant to type "fflam war", which would also be of the musical variety,
but waged between the musician and his harp.

I call dibbs on the Truck and Bus filters!  (Coming from somebody who has worked
in the auto manufacturing business and has been to the Fleetguard facility where
they make filters).

Scott

P.S. If you've never seen a Truck or Bus oil filter...think of the size of a car
vs. a Truck/Bus...the filters are of corresponding scale as well...

Next question...load the filters with regular or synthetic oil?  (hm..for
greater damage...probably go with the heavier stuff...would have to go with
regular oil...or used, regular oil...)

I think 9V track should NEVER be made in New Dark Grey.  If 9V track in the old
colors is discontinued, switch to Brown instead.
