Okay well then that gives me two tasks. Firstly, to do a stocktake on what
I've got in Track (both with and without conductor rails), and to then come up
with some fancy layout using all the different voltages. Secondly to fix that
spare 12V motor of mine that decided to lose a wheel at LegOz.2
How does one explain to an electromechanical locomotive motor that in order to
retain its state of "happiness" (ie. more vertical than diagonal), that all
four wheels must remain in contact.
My spare motor last time decided to see how far it could go with only three
wheels while the other wheel protested and chose to remain lying in one spot.

Well unless I can whip up a lego Fat Controller, your station may not fit in.
I don't actually have a station, that one that Eli had was neat. I'll bring
along the freight loading depot's i have. and eek..who knows might have to
think up a MOC station. (what me? make a MOC? never!)

Yes I've noticed the steel too, especially on them cold 6:30am services when
they decide that the anti-reverse cycle air-conditioning will impress Cityrail
patrons. Lego don't make a metallic grey coloured brick do they?
