(...) And thank you Bernd for that, very much!!!! My vote is for a new category. The only commonality is that both Mono and trains are electrical and that is a weak pretext to hang shoehorning the mono stuff into trains, in my view. (23 years ago, 22-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.trains)

(...) The only decorated tile without a finger groove that I know of is the 2x2 with a large black disk (3068P17). This came from the Homemaker set 263 dated 1974. I've no idea whether this _also_ exists with a finger groove. Chris (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Below is the list of part files which could potentially be affected by this change. So far, we've only got grooved versions of the 1x1, 1x2, 1x2 grille, and 1x4 tile part files.
