I was at Zany Brainy tonight and noticed a flyer saying the 4565 freight train was $50 off until the 24th, making it $99.. I didn't buy one or have one rung up, so I cannot guarantee that price.. I also found out that some Zany Brainy's will (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The last year I ever found one on the shelves of a store was in 1995. That was the same year it sold out at Shop At Home. I'm sure that they continued to pop up on store shelves for some time after that. But the moment a set disappears from (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

I'm just curious when was the last know date a Metroliner was available for purchase as a retail store or S@H? I would guess around the year 1995-1996? Does anyone have a more specific date or any stories revolving around looking for (or finding) (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Well, actually, if you battery or RCX power your 9V motor, you can run it on 4.5V track... If I was converting from 4.5V to 9V, I would just abandon all the 4.5V track, and go all 9V track. The 4.5V motors should run just fine on the 9V track (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

Dan, that's quite the amazing beast. Nice job! I must say though, I burst out laughing when I came to the pic of it going round a curve with the body swinging waaay over to one side. Looks pretty weird! Kevin (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)
