(...) All getting a bit worked up over something which is, after all, a children's targeted set ;-) On more practical matters, how about the motorization, and I presume the unusual articulation (mentioned earlier) works fine on actual track. (15 years ago, 18-May-10, to lugnet.trains)

(...) ... (...) Is that for overcoming my blay-phobia, John? Hahha... But I still do not appreaciate this cold color and I never used it in any MOC, although I own the one or other kilogram of that stuff, as I have to admit. Leg godt! Ben P.s.: (...)

  Re: Toy Story Train comments?
 
(...) Bingo. Art imitating art imitating life is going to be prototypically toyish, and therefore perfect as a "toy." This is one set that I wouldn't mind running unaltered on our layout. And greetings to you, Ben! JOHN (15 years ago, 18-May-10, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

  Re: Toy Story Train comments?
 
(...) I think you completely missed the mark right there. Given the nature of the franchise, it is probably a very accurate and highly detailed recreation of an actual toy train, with no "juniorization" involved. I bought it, and compared to a (...) (15 years ago, 15-May-10, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Toy Story Train comments?
 
(...) Hi, agreed on toyish appearance, but hey - this IS from a cartoonish source - hence it is perfectly fitting the theme. And that is no city and minifig style theme, so one can't expect this to be a train for a "regular" LEGO train layout. I (...) (15 years ago, 14-May-10, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Toy Story Train comments?
 
I see a video review here: (URL) too juniorized for my taste; it kinda fits into the same idea as the Harry Potter trains. The carriages are very short, which is a reasonable concession to the target age and the cartoon aspect of this, but I think (...) (15 years ago, 12-May-10, to lugnet.trains)

  Microscale trains by LDD
 
Hey, After almost 6 years hiatus, here’s my second post to this newsgroup. I downloaded Lego Company’s LDD-software and found out that it’s quite nice one to make microscale train models. Finally I made quite many trains. I felt that building with (...) (15 years ago, 2-Apr-10, to lugnet.trains)
