Hi Steve

I even would guess that a special sleeper plate with flat bottom (to float on studs beneath), with 242 studs on top and a kind of retaining clips to fix the metal rail would be an option for any “third-party producer”. BBB? Little Armory? We would surly need hundreds of these. On the other hand we would not like to pay 3 bucks per piece, but only 10% of this...

I would not care about another 3rd party piece. If lego cuts the support I do not mind to throw my purism over board.

Leg Godt,

(...) sleeper like Ken's modified 2x8 plate, bundle it with the 3rd party connectors and rail stock, and voila - hobbyist track kits! All things considered, this won't happen, for a lot of reasons. But an AFOL can dream... Steve (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.lego)
