(...) I found those elements to be difficult to label. I'm not sure 'bevel' is perfect, but then neither is wedge. ;) Had I known about 'skew' I just might have tried to resurrect that term. I quite like it. (...) I think slope bricks are actually (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

I'd like to nominate trains for the tidiest and up-to-date-ist sidebar on Lugner. Thanks Tim for doing such a good job. It's the only group I come to directly (as opposed to from the recent activity page) as I know the sidebar is so useful. Thanks! (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

What exactly is the advantage of a Torsen differential design? Does it eliminate slip, or is it just a more solid design? (URL) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)

I think a few of us have our own terms. I have heard the studs referred to as "lugs" as well, although I did have to explain to someone that it was not reason Lugnet is so named. How about Technic Beams vs Technic Bricks. I admit to never having (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.parts)

Well, when I started to type this e-mail, I had a question, but I think I've already answered it. I was thinking about our GBC trains.
