Hey kids, About a week ago I preordered the Mickey's Fishing Adventure set from shop-at- home. They said I would not see until the end of September. To my surprise when I came home from work yesterday there it was sitting next to my front door. What (...) (24 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.fabuland)

(...) 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.

(...) 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)
