(...) First, wow. That is a gorgeous switch. I must admit I was a bit amused by Rosco's comment about long wheelbase cars hitting the lever. I gave up on levers a long time ago :) That is a good observation though Rosco. Chris (20 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.custom)

(...) Hi, Rich-- Initially I wasn't sure if I owned any LEGO Ninja sets, and then I couldn't remember if MBI produced two versions of the katana. Thanks for the quick answer! Dave! (20 years ago, 17-Nov-05, to lugnet.parts, FTX)
