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 With 4 Axle (Element ID: 4492719, Category: Not Aproved New Elements)
Removed
- individual axles
- the old buffers
- magnets
- magnet holders
Is it me, or does the new buffer look like its hard-mounted and inflexible?
Also, what happened to the old elements? Any chance we’ll get them back?

I see what you mean about the buffers, although I assume you mean the magnet
that is hard mounted. The ability to pivot to allow the correct polarity to face
outwards if vital really, otherwise you end up with the Brio problem of having
to have all your stock one way round. It maybe simply a crap picture tho. And
why, when new moulds cost money, do they produce another version?

Or indeed the LEGO problem, back in the good old days of 4.5V trains. (At least
LEGO had the magnets in colour coded mounts, though).
