(...) Maybe you are on to something, Tony. Rather than try and get all of these folks into the mindset of evolving the 9 volt system, let TLC create a second, more realistic, prototype-modeling 8 wide train line. And TLC can still keep producing (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Unusable??? Thought that was the beauty of LEGO (or have you *glued* all of your bricks?:-) What's so wrong with starting a new line? Nobody complained when they switched to 9 volt in 1991, and rendered all of the 12 volt stuff "usable". So (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The major drawback to going smaller is that, if you scale back to 6 wide, you will alienate the minifig. They would become almost 7 feet tall (Remember, 4 wide is HO scale; 6 wide isn't much larger than that). But speaking of scaling back, O (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
