(...) This was bugging me as well, so I tried a few things in TrackDraw and came up with this: (URL) 8 straights, 20 curves, one left and one right point. It *nearly* works. There is about a stud overlap on the top right corner. I doubt that this is (...) (19 years ago, 23-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi Mark, (...) I don't but CAD does. I figure those parts are appearing everywhere now so it's only a matter of time before Brickilink reflects their true value. (...) Carriages look good although I don't like the gears too much. Have you thought (...) (19 years ago, 22-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I've had a plan for a while now to build a Paris Metro train that runs on racers track using the new IR engine. Unfortunately the baseplate/batterybox design put a a minor dampener in my plan and I'll probably have to wait to get one and try (...) (19 years ago, 22-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
