(...) Compared to the prices of LEGO Factory models, the price point for 10183 seems reasonable to me. The train parts on Factory are quite expensive, causing some of my train creations to average close to 15 cents per brick (and complete trains to (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) lol, We'll see:-) (...) Thanks. I think I can field the RCX question-- there are 2 light sensors pointing down on the track. They will see a white plate laid down on each end of the track which will tell them to cut power and reverse. You'll (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

I still haven't found any of the engine actually in the loco so (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Yes! There will probably at least two of these added to our collection. When was the last time we could get a Crocodile for $100 (+ $20 for a motor)...and this one is an even bigger Crocodile? And still have lots of parts left over. Let's do (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)

I would pay $100 just for the right to download 30 sets of building instructions. Come on, people, this is a gold mine. Make it successful and we'll see Ultimate Train Set #2. "9V trains are going away! Wah!!!" "I haven't seen this new set up close (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) And so it begins.....You'll have to change your corner store to the 12 wide Emporium. I loved Mr. Rogers as a kid and it was mostly due to Trolley and the Land of Make Believe. This is a very nicely done model, as usual. I'm curious as to how (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Count the train bases: 3 The windows are 8 1x4x3 and 16 panels 1x2x2 The doors are 4 (2 left and 2 right). You have 3 complete bases but not enough parts to make two waggons and an engine. There are few train windows and trasparent panels. I (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Well I agree it is a little misleading even with the little pic with the red X, but I still think there's a pretty good selection of parts for the price. I really hope the cost to Aus isn't 1.5x the cost to the US like most sets on S@H though. (...) (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)
