(...) Hi Nathan, This MOC looks promissing! I find building compact models to be a real challenge... I like your track design! What type of turn table are you using to rotate the super structure? I've found that part to be the weakest link on many (...) (19 years ago, 11-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

Thanks for the kind words. (...) I hope Lego doesn't let this part slip into oblivion. It's small, it's strong... and I'm sure there's millions of other uses for this gem. (19 years ago, 10-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
