(...) Tim, you are so right with your observation. The village layout appears to be quite static with all buildings erected in right angles. However I have found no satisfying way to integrate Houses on baseplates in odd angles. This ended in very (...) (13 years ago, 10-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If I might offer some criticism: the green 'hill' baseplate seems out of place to me, and it would be nice to see more of the buildings at a slight angle (like your genius rock one). That aside I love the feel of the whole thing. Tim (13 years ago, 9-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

--snip-- (...) x-posted to .technic I thought this was possible with the existing protocol. I didn't really understand the details but I thought the existing protocol allowed for a full 16 channels of which only eight were used presently. And I (...)

(...) I have not heard any rumors on 2012 products. But LEGO has supplied us with a huge amount of trains recently (and two of them aiming definitely at AFOLs!). So I have to agree with Tim, that we can not expect too much in 2012. Including the (...) (13 years ago, 9-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)

(...) No word I know of. I'd guess it's pretty unlikely we'll get anything given we've had something like 5 trains in the past three years. That said the best train news for me would be the appearance of a PFS micromotor. Tim (13 years ago, 8-Nov-11, to lugnet.trains)
