(...) You can spin it easily, but it's kinda hard to remove the wheel(you can do it). I think it's so hard to put in or out because the technic pin doesn't have the little notch in it, so it won't bend inward and be easier to put in the hole, rather (...)

Mmmm. The pirate ship's wheel (dunno if the fabuland one is the same part) fits the technic 2x1 block (or any technic connector pin hole), but the wheel doesn't have a standard connector pin. Its a very tight fit. I have wondered whether the wheel (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.fabuland)

What piece does the pin of the ship's wheel fit into? I thought it would be 3700 the 1x2 brick with a hole, but it doesn't seem to fit. I've looked up instructions like (URL) I can't see what this wheel pin is fitting. Sure looks like 3700. Help (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.fabuland)

(...) The "Town Jr.-ness" of a set doesn't have to do with its size or completeness. When was the last time LEGO produced a building with 4 sides? And most LEGO buildings are extremely cramped. The idea is to convey the purpose of the building (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.fabuland)

(...) You're both wrong. ALL themes exist to provide a background, spare parts, or bizzare loads (in extremis) for trains. And good train heads can make a prototypical train themed creation out of ANY part. ++Lar (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.fabuland)
