(...) Hmmm. I have several of the old 1960's/1970's motors (set 122 comes to mind) with the battery boxes and cables. Do your 4.5V technic motors use the same cable? I suppose, either way, I could use some more if you have extras. See you at the (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

IF it helps at all, you don't need to use 2x2 tiles. you are free to use any tile that covers the 4x4 area. many of my black blocks are 4 - 1x4's or a combination of 1x4 and 2x2.
