(...) Running a 9V motor at 12 V for extended periods (say with a heavy load so the train will not fly off the track) will shorten the lifespan of the 9V motor. (...) I thought that voltage would matter. I understand that ultimately the strength of (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

I have to agree with Larry P and others that Lego could better the AFOL train market by a) Issuing new train designs that are better than the current assortment b) Releasing a generous range of train parts through Lego Direct The idea of reissued (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'd certainly buy them! Only hopefully it wouldn't be done with just train sets; at least some old Legoland Town sets as well, and preferably old sets from all themes. (...) I don't know if it would work, but I'm all for that. I'd be sure to (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I think the worse thing lego could do is produce some 'limited editions' of classic sets. This generally equates to those sets that are rare and expensive on ebay like 4558. Producing them in only limited editions would only maintain their (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

I mentioned that I'm seeking input for what to design and produce in the thread started by Wayne but it may have been overlooked. So let me ask again in a new thread. Without committing to anything, but have at it! What would you like to see next (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) compare (...) Dealing with OO sized stuff, PECO points are from 14-20 CDN each, compaired with $35 for 2 lego points (so, about the same). Neither are motorized, although if Lego would reduce the tabs on the points, a $8 "set" could be used (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nah, I'm done spending on grey 1x4x3 train windows - I have 37 (maybe more?) stacked and waiting for me to have time to BUILD with, and I'm not going to think about needing any more until I use those up. But if someone offers them to me in a (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Lego should better release nice new trains with "real" train doors and windows. The effort do do a good set wouldn't be too high. Just imagine a pair of green passenger cars. Additional they could sell a brown 3. class waggon and a dark grey (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If you want to create some heavy diesel enginges, the look at the Russain 2TE10 (2TEx), og the larger 3TE10 or 4TE10 - for the 4TE10 you'll need 8 motors.... Look at SEIS (Steam Engine IS). (URL) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

Big snip of my own ramblings... What I would like from LEGO is 1. Better models for me and for the kids/people that would be attracted to LEGO trains if the models were better. By better I mean 7740, 7742, 7725, 7750, 4558, 4563 better, not PNLTC, (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
