Thanks for all the info Deidre. I'm looking to start up in Mindstorms over
the next few months, then maybe 9V trains after that. Any expert advice on
the following menus would be great:
Mindstorms:
*RIS 1.5 at Dick Smith/Ozbricks for ~$290,
supplemented with
*Ultimate accessories for ~$100
*current supply of System and mid-80s Technic, maybe another pneumatic
tow-truck (bring on the 25% off sale TRU!!)
*sensors, motors from LA as required
Trains:
*4565 Freight Railway ~$290
*4548 regulator ~$60
*4531 points (if I can find them) ~$50
*4515 straights ~$25
*a couple of small sets to build up the supply of wagons and crew ~$40
And that, plus a bit of Harry Potter if it's any good, should be enough for
2001!!
