(...) You can 'have' the two 8862's currently up as I've already got one (actually the first set I owned, closely followed by 8868 - and in my opinion the range has gone down hill from there with only a few exceptions (OK about 20 exceptions!)) :-) (...)

Just one minor comment: The old style differentials had 28 teeth, not 24. This matches the 14 teeth of the old style bevel gears, giving a 1:2 gear ratio. I have to say that this feature is something I miss with the new differential: It is hard to (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)
