Colors I have seen: Brown, Black, Red, Yellow, Clear, Blue, Pink(!),
Original Gray (not the darker gray) and (I think) Clear Yellow.
I would suspect that newer sets have beige, etc.
The clears that I have come from 588 Police Station (or it's European
Equiv., 381): http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=588
MMMMmmmmm.....just the right number for a boxcar.
I'm not sure I know what the rail you are referring to is, to slide the
door.
I just "came out" of my "dark ages" (as I think 2 days of solid surfing
has hinted is the right terminology.) and I haven't gotten my legos back
from my parents. I still have them though. Two large U-haul boxes and an
4.5 battery train: Set 127.
I have a stupid question though. Why are the new switches (aka points)
non-remote? I remember that there were 12v trains (and the websites
confirm this) available in Germany with **remote** controlled points and
start/stop lights.
I also have seen 12v layouts that are not possible in current 9v track
rails, due to shorting.
How do model railroaders deal with this? I have to dig out my old HO rail
book. I thought it allowed switchbacks.
Oh, well....
Ciao!
