 | | New Elements on Factory? —Jack Hawk
|
| | | I'm usually not on Factory/Pick-a-Brick, but have been this week. In just the past couple of days, it looks like they've made some changes to the train elements: Added Train Buffer 2 (Design ID: 64422, Category: Transportation Means, Trains) Prepack (...)

| | | | | | | | (...) This is my guess. The magnet looks like it might spin and pivot so it might still work. My guess is that it will have to work otherwise they would have to have 2 different buffers, one front and one Back. -Eric (16 years ago, 3-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) I used a similar technique in the past, though I can't find a hyperlink to the solution (which was not mine, I think Chris Masi's). It worked rather well, though the main problem that I encountered was the frictionless pins slipping out of the (...) (16 years ago, 4-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic, FTX)

I am still concerned about the size of the price increase. This (...) (16 years ago, 5-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
