I'm in hope of getting more realistic stuff too. But I have no idea, what Lego
will bring out in future. And my fear is: as known by bar code truck,
cybermaster and mindstorms nothing fill fit together again.... (Maybe starting
a complete new series of trains, like 1990 with change from 12V to 9V?)

That's right of course. The word "needless" was quite to strong, but my
vocabulary wasn't good enough to say it the way I would have written it in

That's long enough for any engine one can imagine.

That sounds very interesting to me! My turntable (48 studs diameter) and the
roundhouse with four bays make only one big module of 96x 120 studs. What will
be the colour of the house walls and its roof?
