        Re: Ahhhh... New Road plates... —Derek Raycraft
     I thought those were new road plates. I saw them a few days ago but couldn't remember if I'd seen them before. The strange thing is they are only shown with the Creator sets. If you look under City you'll see the older road plates. I need some T (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

      (...) Do you guys have a high speed connection at work? We have one like 28.8 modem shared by like 10 computers. And the phone lines in Ayr are tin cans and string. So the modulation isn't as good. Iain (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
     
          Re: Ahhhh... New Road plates... —Derek Raycraft
      (...) Yes we have high speed connections. I'm not sure the details, like I'm sure Calum would if he were here. Lots of Ts and Ones. It usually faster surfing here then on my Rogers connection at home. Derek (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

          Re: Ahhhh... New Road plates... —Jeff Elliott
      Funny you should ask. I've just been reading a paper where the researchers were following a maze of Lego road plates with a Handyboard robot. The idea was to map the layout of plates, assuming no dead-ends. "1997 Visual Programming Challenge (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

          Re: Ahhhh... New Road plates... —Pedro Silva
      (...) Yup. So the sequence is: 9 - 7 - 8 - 6 (studs on each side) If this trend goes on, in only a few years we can make freeways with 2 lanes on each side... :-) (...) Are they a re-issue, or old stock? Pedro (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

        Re: Ahhhh... New Road plates... —Eric Kingsley
   Forwarding this for exposure. I like these new road plates... The roads are black with a new design that makes them appear wider. (To bad NELUG already owns a couple hundred baseplates...)

Actually, I have been noticing in "real-life" how roads with pavement over a year or two old tends to be sunbleached to a light gray similar to the old style Lego plates. Only the newest of (...)
