Can "new trains" ever be a bad thing? Doubtful, but here are some observations based on the pic below that explore this question: (URL) It appears that the battery motor has metal flanges like the 9 volt motor. Probably good; will last longer than (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Yes, I've seen it yet too, it's a very good idea for an item, but I don't like the new big truck line, that can't run in the city roads (see ferrari truck), and most of all the bridge, that seems to be one piece...I prefer to build the same (...)

(...) 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)
