Pretty good looking. The only problem I have is using the little train wheels. I've built some train cars using these wheels and they create a lot of drag in a train. Any one have any solutions to that? (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) NO! Thank all lego saints it does not come like the 4560 et al. It predates 4560/1 by quite a while (3 years) and is much better of a set. James Powell (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hi all, Well the Tampa show is a rap. We had a great time at the GATS show and hope to see some of you at the next show if your in town.

G'Day I also never really liked this set, until I got one (on sale of course!), it does sort of grow on you. I had to LOL at the 'black box' included in the engine (which, yes, does need a lot of reworking. But that's what LEGO is all about, eh?). (...) (25 years ago, 19-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

In my opinion, that would ruin the feeling of LEGO. If you wanted things like that, then you could build them yourself (like a lot of people makes MindStorms sensors). LEGO is a toy for children, and I doubt that a 6-year old would have fun with (...) (25 years ago, 19-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)
