I don't understand how people use rubber bands like this in projects  --
they never seem to transmit enough power to move anything reliably.
Indeed.  Lego themselves double up sometimes by adding extra pair of
pulleys - that helps a lot.
Is there a part no for rubber band spares - on their own.
The only ones I can find in UK are in multi packs with other parts.
I would prefer reinforced bands - much like that used in railway
modelling, but I assume Lego only go for pure rubber.
