(...) Set 390, an old Cadillac, comes with five large red spoked wheels. I assume they are the same but am not sure because I've never seen spoked wheels close up on a train set before. Maggie C. (22 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)

A few questions... The big red spoked wheels you sometimes see in trainmodels, are they from set 396 (URL) ? Is it possible to use these wheels on 9V ? Which other sets contain those wheels? Thanks, Saskia (22 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)

I find 8' is the maximum width of a layout, as you can only reach in by 4', but then there is mainly town in the centre of the layout. Also I like to have several trains running at once, it's nice to sit back and watch them. You can only have two or (...) (22 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)
