(...) Well, while it does require you to cut your elements it is almost all Lego parts. Two parts completely unmodified, the tires/wheels and the little black slope used for the seat. Front Fork is cut off of this part: (URL) This is then cut in (...) (17 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)

(...) while the distance between the rails is identical the depth of the rail is not. unfortunetly this lets 4.5v trains run on 9v track but not the other way around because 9v train wheels have a longer flange depth.. ondrew (17 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

(...) It's possible you could get reasonable running by butting them up against one another, but no, they're not really designed to click together. If you ask Ondrew nicely, he may be able to come up with a nice adapter solution though. ROSCO (17 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

I've been asked to post this for him: Well I haven't posted here, but I am guessing that many of you know me from other boards. Here is (...)

(...) For plastics, I'd recomend "GOOP" over silicon adhesive. It has a small amount of solvent to adhere to plastic, and sets faster. The stuff is like a hybrid of Silicon and rubber cement. As for CA (superglue), the fumes are nearly as dangerous (...) (17 years ago, 17-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)

(...) Unless this will be surely permanent, and a tight fit already, I'd recommend clear silicon caulk. That provides a back-out plan, if you need to undo, and flexibility between parts. But it may be too bulky and gap-filling for your smaller (...) (17 years ago, 9-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)

It is rather a solvent that literally loosens the plastic molecules of the ABS, and allows them to intertwine between bricks. Once it evaporates, the ABS returns to a (...)
