Has anyone tried converting a 4558 to monorail tracks? The biggest problem I have is the turning radius on the monorail tracks is too tight. KL (25 years ago, 10-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) You may or may not be entitled to a refund, I don't know store policy. Even if you're not ENTITLED, you may be able to wheedle one anyway. Depends. I like ZB a lot, I bet they will. I feel wheedling is OK, it's the manager's call whether to (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

Grrrrr.... I just purchased a 4565 at full price... Well, actually, I saved up enough American Express Member Rewards points and got a $50 Zany Brainy gift certificate so my 4565 was not necessarily full price... Bryan Frank Filz (...)

Note sure if this sale is local to the Raleigh NC store or a general Zany Brainy event. They are having a train sale next week. Since the clerk mentioned it when I was buying Lego sets, I assume that any train related item they sell will be on sale. (...)

Christopher, I think John Neal hit the "nail on the head" with his advice. Like Larry P., I'm not sure I'd pay full retail price for an additional speed regulator. After all, you already own a speed regulator from 4559, and I'm not sure you even (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)
