(...) Did they have no problem with you taking photos? A few of us went, separately, to the UK Toy Fair at TLCs invitation but they wouldn't let me take any photographs at all. Very happy you were able to get some good shots of the Roaring Roadsters (...) (18 years ago, 12-Feb-06, to lugnet.year.2006)

I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Lego showroom preview event at the LEGO showroom at 24th and Broadway, in NYC, as part of the 2006 American International TOY FAIR, ((URL) so naturally I went... just like last year. I uploaded a bunch of (...) (18 years ago, 12-Feb-06, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.year.2006, lugnet.lego) !!

(...) The new points set also contains 4 curves as opposed to the 2 in the 9V set. (The points set also has the same 2 x left hand photo error) Tim (18 years ago, 1-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2006)

(...) the 2 extra curves would be the normal curves that go with points (a normal packet of points contains 1 x left, 1 x right and 2 x curves) (18 years ago, 1-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2006)

(...) I'm thinking that's a mistake - if you look closely it says 20x curve and 8x straight, and 1x for each of the points. I would think it would just say 2x and have 1 pic if they were the same. Can't think what the 2 extra curves might be for (...) (18 years ago, 1-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2006, FTX)

(...) Take a look at the shot of the 7898 cargo train: (URL) There's what appears to be a red hopper car on the right side of the box and a flat bed behind the engine that weren't seen on the calender pics. The crane car is also picking up a red car (...) (18 years ago, 30-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2006, FTX)

(...) Good question. I'm eager to order a set and find out how BBB wheels will do with the new battery powered trains. I've tried BBB wheels with the 845 motor: (URL) Which easily accepts a technic axle. With large BBB drivers, at 9V the speed is a (...)
