Wow!! That is a fantastic model, it's a shame they're not produced
anymore - I wonder if TLG would be capable of manufacturing parts which
function the same way as the old ones did? If it were possible to obtain
new parts that performed the same function, I'd certainly have a few uses
for them. :-)
