I was just checking out www.zainybrainy.com and they have 9V speed regulators for $19.99. I little better than the ~$50 that S@H charges. Steve Martin (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

The one in 2126 is 24 studs. The Metroliner coaches are on 28 stud wagon plates. Actually I just finished building a white coach, and faking the plate looks pretty good except it's 1 plate higher than a regular wagon plate. I guess you could use a 1 (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
