 | | Amazing DUPLO Masterpiece!
|
| Awhile ago, we loaned our big bin of DUPLO to my parents, so that our niece could play with them when she visits.

|
| Does the 5027 Start/Stop rail switch work with the new train? Is the track the same? Are all the track systems compatible, I know some are gray and some are black. Rose (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.duplo)

| (...) Not at all- it really is pretty cool. And the track is extremely cheap (at least compared to 9v). If you are looking for a train that will run around a Christmas tree and be able to handle prying little fingers, this is the way to go. And even (...)

Now I have to work on powered points! (...) (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

| Heh- sorry about the wide distribution, but this fits into a lot of categories. I have a new creation up on my site, a device for defeating the timer on the Duplo battery trains. This uses Duplo Trains, Technic, and a critical Znap part. I call it (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.duplo, lugnet.org.us.sealug, lugnet.technic, lugnet.znap, lugnet.build) !
