(...) (URL) The more and more I see of the RC/IR train line the more I like it. The sets look to be well-engineered, fun to build, not junior-ized, both have seemingly good parts and it looks easy to hack. Ok the last part doesn't really matter to (...)

(...) It doesn't look like the track has metal rails. So, I wonder if these are some of the battery-powered remote-controled trains that LEGO announced at BrickFest. I remember seeing a green train; although, I cannot say if it was that train, in (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.it.itlug, lugnet.parts)
