(...) I don't think 3225 is Town, Jr. at all. Kind of a crappy design (I don't like mis-use of logwall bricks). It is *small*, and (I'm sure) not very prototypical (which isn't a problem for me). But it is a *cheaper* train than LEGO has ever (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Funny, that's not what happens in my movie clip-- he returns to the track and buys it again...and again...and again on continuous loop. Sometimes frame by frame! It's Bill Murray in some Legoan Punxsuwtawney thing... BTW, I have access to new in the (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

The rescue helicopter arrived on scene within a minute, but alas...there is no hospital. I thought he was finished, but the resilience of LEGO people alway astounds me. Miraculously when he was pulled from the helicopter he was unharmed! He returned (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) To beat Ben Fleskes to the punchline here, given the recent morbid fascination with wrecks on this group, is that a bug or a feature? :-) Agreed, though I think the tipper car in 2126, since it has two compartments, has a lower center of (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Track Designer will not detect shorts created by attaching more than one controller. It only detects shorts caused by reversing loops. However, that is a feature that I would eventually like to add to version 3, so that you can tell TD where (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Actually, this set has grown on me since I got one for Christmas. It's quite cute as Larry says. I still think it could have been done better but all in all it's worth buying. I wish I had a few more. One annoying thing is that if you run it (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) It is small and has fewer pieces than other train sets, but I don't think it is "juniorized" completely. It uses mostly regular pieces and I think its low piece count can be attributed to its low price more than anything else. Definitely worth (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks, Ben. I am using Matt D. Bates excellent Track designer program (I did it on AutoCad for a long time, without much success!), and I am trying to see if I can get just a simple switch between the two lines so that the current doesn't short (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Of course the Great Larry is correct about the nature of the car AND its *value* as a set. I recently purchased 4 upon hearing the rumor from a reliable source (Deep Throat) that the set will be discontinued this year:( Asking for humble (...) (26 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
