(...) Why? I hear the WHINE, but I'm not hearing the WHY. WHY is this important, compared to other things (assume you're making a priority list here) Track varies in color in real life. It just *doesn't* make a high priority list of things in my (...) (21 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
