(...) hehe, what could you be referring too? :-) Actually the point has become moot. As it turns out the interference of other parts has made it unnessisary to cut flex tubing after all. The pneumatic T-connector will do just fine. Its nice to know (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Sorry to jump into the thread late and dumb, but *doh*... Looking at the rendering... you've captured a flex tube between two of those motor-mounting 2x1 plates with the extra bit on them? And that's your axle for the train? I think that's one of (...) (22 years ago, 19-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
