|
|
Here's something that's been driving me crazy for years, and finally I have to vent: In the S@H catalog, whenever there's a reference to a length of track, it's always "7 [or whatever] feet of running track".

Hi all, I recently picked up this set as part of a collection. It was missing one piece, a whistle, black in color with three rows of 2 studs on top. It seems that the train is controlled using a sound sensor which starts or stops the motor when it (...) (26 years ago, 1-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

It looks to me as though the middle wheels, which are small technic wheels, are meant to ride on the track and rotate. Given this, it seems simple enough to drive the big dish at the front when any powered train is used to push the plough unit. (...) (26 years ago, 28-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)
