(...) Thanks, Jojo. It definitely sounds like a lame excuse, no matter which way you decipher it. What kind of cats does he have that would destroy all the books, whether with claws or bladders? Bengal tigers? Bah...I'm waiting for these sets to hit (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.theory)

Hello! (...) Hahaha! No! It means: "My cats destroyed the instruction books". No word of peeing :-) (...) Not really idiomatically. But the sense in this case may be the same. Bye Jojo (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Alta Vista translates it as "My cats made themselves tonight over the guidances." That sounds, to me, like his cats peed on the instructions. Funny stuff.

(...) Why should friction be a problem? Those wheels could slip and slide like any other - it's only if you power them you need a good grip, and then you'd probably use a standard 9V train motor, which has tyres. It would probably make a better (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Looks like 9V buffers on the front, just like the CGI train on the Harry Potter software box picture posted earlier. It also looks like the engine has a wagon plate for a base (2 plates high) like the MOT. The spacing of the front two wheels (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.trains)
