I was just looking at the Lego Shop At Home page today and noticed the 4534 on the trains page (URL). I thought that Lego was only producing this set for Target stores. Will this mean that Lego will have this set as a "regular" set for a year, or (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

|

I haven't found the train motors to be particularly good generators, but if you have two locos on an unpowered track you can give one loco a good push and the other will lurch forward... and if there's a light on the loco it will illuminate briefly. (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

| | 4.5V/9V silliness
|

This isn't particularly new, but you might like to try it. Anyone who knows about motors will know that you can connect two together and make a generator from the second one. What's more, you can run a 4.5V technic motor into a 9V technic motor (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
