(...) I just found a new mega blok set that is along the lines of what I wish LEGO would make. (URL) course, it looks cheap, the colors stink, there isn't the level of detail I would expect from a Model Team set or want in a Technic set, but its a (...)

(...) The holes can be used to attached a pulley to the wheel to motorize it, ie. if you're going with a rubber band drive as opposed to a direct gear drive. I imagine a train person could also use the hole to do a piston kind of thing, too. George (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
