I look for old 12v and 4.5v trains every week. I used to be able to type in "lego eisenbahn" pull up alot of trains from Germany. Now I can only pull up those sets by going to the international site. I didn't realize there was a change until a few (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

Hate to disagree with you Robert, but the LEGO train motors don't work that way. It doesn't matter which way you put them on the track, they will all travel in the same direction. You can not run to motors on the same loop of track in opposite (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
