One other question regarding this set.

Why the new type of motor? It is bigger than it needs to be, not any better as far as I can tell than the standard type (just as noisy anyway), and no doubt added to the cost of the set. It has two places that can take an axel, so presumably it can drive two separate functions, but they are not controllable independently, so what’s the big deal?


Any plausible explanations?

thanks, Gyl
