| | | (...) I noticed the floppy tubes too, there are short pieces of it in yellow in both 8250 (search sub) and 8503 (throwbot scuba). I tend to think of it as thin pneumatic tubing, rather than floppy flex tubing, perhaps because in both these sets it's (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | (...) Sorry to reply to my own message, I just knew that I couldn't actually write anything that short. Actually, the thin rubbery tubes have the same inner diameter as regular pneumatic tubes, even though the outer diameter is considerably smaller. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | (...) Hmm, same inner diameter -- that would mean they'd work just fine as pneumatic tubes, then, right? (Unless they'd *pop* because they're too thin? :) --Todd (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | (...) Yup, I tried it. But considering that I have only two small pieces of thin tubing and probably about 20 feet total of regular pneumatic tubing... (can't get T connectors without buying tube, just got two more service packs :-) It crossed my (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.technic)

Does anyone know of other model team (or other genre) sets which contain pneumatic T connectors? By the way, I looked quickly at the Lugnet entry (...)

| | | | (...) 5571 has an 8 cylinder engine under the hood. Inserted in the hole in the middle of each cylinder (2x2 round brick), is a T connector. I would guess that some of the other cars with engines, such as the Blue Fury, *might* have T connectors... (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)
