(...) You forgot that the train/town folks would use the track sets as animated roads for their layouts...likely finding a way to control the system with RCXs or their speed controllers, to have cars and trucks moving around. Sounds neat, though. (...) (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)
