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 • >

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?

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.
