"Even the wooden track systems don't have than many different pieces, and that's a toy system almost exclusively for trains." Perhaps I miss read this, but Brio has a ton of track elements... Straights: 2", 4.25", 5.5", 8.5", & ramps. Curves: 3.5", (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Actually, I would argue that the 4.5v/12v turnouts have a better geometry than the 9v. Adjacent tracks touching looks a lot better (and gets more yard into a small space) than adjacent tracks being so far apart. Of course the 4.5v/12v geometry (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

I really like the work you did (should have said this sooner)!! While going through my LEGO train links I found a work built by another train enthusiast in 2000. (URL) looks like you didn't have to go through the headache of drawing the power from (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I am beginning to think that there is no real hope for this from TLC. I just don't think they can justify the R&D cost, the production ramp up cost, and the division of volume amongst more track components. The current track components work (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
