(...) You can spin it easily, but it's kinda hard to remove the wheel(you can do it). I think it's so hard to put in or out because the technic pin doesn't have the little notch in it, so it won't bend inward and be easier to put in the hole, rather (...)

Mmmm. The pirate ship's wheel (dunno if the fabuland one is the same part) fits the technic 2x1 block (or any technic connector pin hole), but the wheel doesn't have a standard connector pin. Its a very tight fit. I have wondered whether the wheel (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.fabuland)

(...) Another, possibly better, possibility: Mount the base on a 2x2 or 4x4 turntable. This will add height, but if you can compensate for the ratline height it should solve the problem. best LFB (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.pirates)
