How soon can you get a few pictures of this set up?

How powerful is the force applied to the sleds in the tubes?  Can the
transport modules for them transport just a small amount or can you have
cargo as well?

I think you mean answer by replying.  ;-)

I'm pretty sure people would like a more detailed review of the set.
Pictures would be great!!  I'm wondering what other uses can be found for
the tube system, it sounds like a lot of fun anyway.

Also, if I read that picture of the set right, there is a switchbox/junction
piece for the tubes?  Would be interesting to see what motorizing it would
do, with mindstorms, motors/gears, or pneumatics.
