| Shaun, OK, I'm not a train guy and or even a moderately skilled Technic guy, but it's easy to see that this is officially ridiculously awesome. I've become interested in incorporating Technic functionality into minifig scale MOCs, but I don't think (...) (16 years ago, 6-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)
