It would be nice if TLC can share how this set will be powered? Maybe they got pushed into releasing this information early because it leaked (I speculate why that info is missing). -Ram (16 years ago, 19-Feb-09, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

WOW thats good. I am SO going to get one and use the large train wheels to build an American 4-4-0. Not sure if 6-wide or 8-wide would be more to scale with the real thing (may have to pull out my copy of Back To The Future 3 to check) (16 years ago, 18-Feb-09, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

Will the wheels be a drop-in replacement for BBB large wheels? This is grade-A quality, and the train set we've been waiting for since 4.5V. Of course, now we'll expect similar miracles of the new PF train-specific parts. :) -Stefan- (16 years ago, 18-Feb-09, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
