  camera mounts?
 
Dear Lego- Have you ever considered making a specialized brick that would serve as a camera mount? It would basically be like the head on a tripod but the base is a brick that could be snapped onto RC or robotic vehicles. -- dave (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

  (limited) set trading opportunity
 
Hi. I'm planning to start an auction of mostly town and castle sets soon on ebay, but will give an opportunity to trade for some of the things I'm really interested in first, all 4.5V/12V train sets.

  Attaching train bogies
 
Can someone share with me the proper way to attach a bogie to a non-train platform? In other words, attach it to a standard 6x6 plate. My guess is to use a Technic plate but I can't figure out if I use one or two, or if there is a better method. It (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
