(...) Agreed. The engine is definitely my least favorite part, the two passenger cars, especially if they come with the drop down train plates, may be worthwhile as starting points for a customized blue/white passenger train. I'm pretty sure it is (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)

Some more things to add after seeing the LEGO DIRECT Catalogue: I think the windows on the 4561 are standard panes of glass as shown on the Riot Police Soccer set and many others. The 4519 Cross Over looks pretty good, the black square in the middle (...) (26 years ago, 6-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)

Not an expert in electronics....I think the regulator adjust to the amount of current that is drawn by the motors so two regulators would share the workload on the same system and if you add more motors on the same regulator it would just feed more (...) (26 years ago, 5-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)
