(...) Yes, I've seen it yet too, it's a very good idea for an item, but I don't like the new big truck line, that can't run in the city roads (see ferrari truck), and most of all the bridge, that seems to be one piece...I prefer to build the same (...)

(...) Hmm... I have been luke warm about the IR-controled battery-powered trains; however, it had occured to me that I could use this system to run a trolley on the same line as a train, but then I thought of something. All of my trolleys are single (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.it.itlug, lugnet.parts)

I they start making all parts like that for a model railway, then I wonder what else we can expect - more cars, engines and other (...)
