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". Am I insane, or is the proper expression (...) (26 years ago, 2-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

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)
