  Re: Another Motorized Switch Design :-)
 
(...) Hi Mark, Along with Chris, I totally agree that your design is brilliant. I tested both versions (long and short) and both prooved to be very stable with my switch points. At least after 200 tests. To be honest, I oil my switch points with (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Or that he's set up to handle non PayPal buyers. Well maybe this first production run will be collectors items someday, when Ben is rich and famous. :-) ++Lar (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: BBB wheels + availability?
 
(...) Yes, it is $3 each. I'm just not sure that there are even any remaining to purchase... JOHN (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: BBB wheels + availability?
 
(...) I'm 99% sure "$3 each" is for one wheel. $6 for a pair of them. Still a very reasonable price, in my opinion! I've already bought almost a dozen of these 'beta' wheels, and I'll buy more when the 'production' version comes out. JohnG, GMLTC (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: BBB wheels + availability?
 
It says $3 each on the website. That is $3 per each PAIR, right? Not whining, just clarifying. It seems a very reasonable price. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New gray track doesn't match

I was at the Lego Outlet at Potomac Mills over the weekend. They had train track in stock. Some of the stock had updated packaging with the "World City" logo on it. The set numbers are the same, just new packaging. I did not buy any to compare, but (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New gray track doesn't match
 
(...) I can't understand why Lego is only going halfway with the color change. Why aren't they promoting the new colors with splashy advertising on the boxes that say "New and Improved Colors! Now even more compatible with your MegaBlocks (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: 3 axle trucks
 
(...) Mike, I like it, I like it a lot. I might switch my design to that. The only thing that I am worried about is torque. On my engine, the pivitoing part is the part that pulls the load, but I'll never know if I don't try. (URL) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New gray track doesn't match
 
(...) That was my point. The "new gray" has already made it into the train track rails. Since there is no freshness date on LEGO, there is no reason to move old stock to the front of the shelf; thus, there could still be some "old gray" out there. (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
