I suspect that you have to do the same explaining when someone comments on
the gorgeous monorails that many clubs use in their layouts...

"Oh that? It is a bunch of monorail set and parts from the lat 80's - but
Lego no longer produces them..."

I don't see a problem with a third-party product if the quality is good. • I can
definitely forsee having to explain to *everyone* who looks at our train • layout
that these wheels are NOT a Lego product.  But, I could live with that -
especially if those people could buy them easily.  (Bricklink store, • perhaps?)

When we have the NCLTC layout on display we deal with this one all of the
time. Of course, to make matters worse and generate more questions, it
doesn't help that we run multi-car monorail trains and Cary Clark's twin
spirals are always prominnently featured in our layout!
