(...) fun are they? (URL) I wonder where they are now, or if they are lamenting the passing of their old style gears into the newer fine-pitch teeth :-) Imagine the uproar of changing the basic brick with holes into the studded beam. Heresy! Ralph (20 years ago, 22-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic)

Hi, (...) some of the axles existed even before Technic (IIRC 4 6 8 12) for the big colored pre-technic gears. They changed from uncolored to black when technic was introduced, and probably the material was changed as well. JÃ¼rgen (20 years ago, 17-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic)
