Just wanted to say that I have seen the periodic surging Larry was talking about. There were two short cars in the train, and there were 4 long cars, long red train baseplate length, in the train. Sure enough the caboose slowed down and sped up (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

Oh oh oh...another problem with 8 wide (main reason I am avoiding it): anyone recall how many engines John uses for his 8 wide stuff? Eight wide is going to weight a lot (unless there is exstensive use of thinwalls). Eight wide trains are going to (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

The lower half of the nose piece has two square openings. To my knowledge only the special trans-yellow "Y" will fit into these square openings and allow a single bulb to illuminate the right and left side simultaneously. If you increase the spacing (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I've NEVER understood why Lego didn't make nose pieces split to begin with. Then they could make each half 2-wide, and you could insert slopes between them to make them any width you want. Then they'd only have to worry about making 6/8/10/12 (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
