| (...) Aha, the penny drops. I have two of those (grey) from one of the old gear sets as well, pretty much all that remains from these sets. I enjoyed them at the time too, but when the Technic stuff came out, well, that was that... Jennifer Clark (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

| Aha! That's perfect! Thanks. And I did have an extra turntable in my pile o' bricks too. I guess I know where it goes now. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.db.scans)

| (...) Yeah, there are a couple of those in this set. The grey brick was used to hold the axles for those red spoked wheels and the really neat tracks. I just recently purchased a copy of set 404, which is pretty much identical to 912. Why are there (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

| (...) I was(am) lucky enough to actually have it :) Hate to rub it in, but it was indeed a great set and I spent hours with it as a child. In many ways it was a pre-technic set (I think there was no Technic theme back in 1976) with axles, motor, (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

| I received what I believe to be a copy of this set in a lot purchased from a friend, however I can't verify that I have something approaching all the pieces, as there's no scan of the instructions for this set online.

But the current design is available in: Black -- 2, 2 w/notches, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

| They were used as masts in 314 and 315, two of the old ships-series. They were also used in the old Model-team: the Harley and the Norton (393 & 394) feature a few as axles, footrests and antenna. The Rolls Royce (395) uses one for its steering (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)
