Has anybody checked the wheel sets? Lego had some minor problems with the
Legend Metro-Liner and they seem to have major problems with grey (Santa Fe +
coaches) wheel sets now (as I heared from several people till now). These do
not run as smooth as the old wheel blocks did. The extra size and weight of
the new sets might be a problem too, but hey - there are 8-wide clubs that run
their much heavier stuff....
Regards,
Ben
A front end pulled Lego train _can_ be that long (126 cars):
