It looks as if the bases are 32 studs long - which is a new size, we have had 24 & 28 before. David (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

MSE allows the racer to modify the standard LEGO train engine pretty much anyway that they want. The track will not be modified and will still only supply the standard 9volt current. So the racer must keep that in mind and design his/her (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)
