| | | (...) All of the responses so far have focused on true white axles (which are somewhat rare). There are also #5 axles with stop which are much more common. Then there are translucent "white" axles. These predated the classic black axles and last (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

Still useful as linkages, though. Regards, ROSCO (23 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

In many ways it was a pre-technic set (I think there was no Technic theme back in 1976) with axles, motor, (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

I just recently purchased a copy of set 404, which is pretty much identical to 912. Why are there (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

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 (...)
