(...) Thank you for all the info Tim. Where could I find out more information about the new trains coming out later this year and when they may be able to come out? Are 9v trains usually 8 wide? Are the six wide trains not as good because the (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I was getting my hopes up looking at the boxcars - in the first pictures they looked orange, but here they're clearly red. I guess that makes the car on the flatbed red too. The red fork-lift looks good; it just seems unusual for Lego to do (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2006, FTX)

(...) I noticed this as well, I'm guessing the old moters were used for testing and early photos, but the final product will have plastic wheels. I'm really hoping that the IR reciever is not permanently coupled the the motor unit. Use a standard 9v (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2006, FTX)

--SNIPPED-- (...) I can't answer the question but it might be useful if you could do up a CAD diagram of the sensor and train mechanisms for easy reference. I'm afraid I can't really understand what you mean here. It would also give a way of (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.trains)

(...) Ah, well spotted. So maybe you can't run them on metal track at the same time as a 9V train. That may mean the base has a standard 9V lead on it though, so it would let you use it to run a 9V motorised crane or, my favourite, the miniature (...)
