  Power Functions train controller

  Re: Technicopedia Update
 
(...) Agreed. 8479 while having 4 models has a one clear "main" model. 8485 in my mind, has two main models and one alternate model. But neither are universal sets. 8094 is a universal set, in my line of thinking. (16 years ago, 17-May-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) I no longer have a proofreader, so please feel free to let me know where you've found errors and I'll correct them. Just send me a personal email. I feel the same about the universal sets.

  Re: Technicopedia Update
 
(...) Hi Eric, awesome update. It's no wonder that I only have three technic universal sets in my collection - and one of these was a gift, 8020. The other two are 8082, along with 8456, the fiber optic set from 1996, which I consider a universal (...) (16 years ago, 17-May-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

  Re: Heavy Haul Trailer and Winch Truck
 
(...) I wonder why competative winching has bever been a sport? What you'd do is connect the winches on two trucks, and whichever drags the other to the mid point first wins. You wouldn't be allowed to connect the trucks to anything but you could (...) (16 years ago, 30-Apr-09, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)
