(...) Did you ask whether they would be continuing to make 1.5's ? I don't think many people would be all that concerned at a delay for 2.0 - but if there are no 1.5's around for all that time, it'll put a severe kink in our ability to keep the (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

In a pinch - and if you don't mind spending some extra money - you can always by a train set like 4561 "Railway Express" for $129.99 or 4548 "Speed Regulator" for $41.99. Both are in stock at S@H, and include a suitable AC adapter. The first is also (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
