We need a ruling as to whether or not that constitutes mutilation:-)  I
think most would agree that cutting flex tubing *isn't* considered
mutilation, since it is a procedure from actual LEGO instuctions...

I'm assuming this is from the older (early 90s) sets?  I've never seen an
instruction booklet with that.  They've always been at the right lengths
right out of the box.  Regardless, I confess; I do the same thing.  The
tender deck railing on my steamer is a snipped chunk.  What have I
done?!?!?!  Oh the Lego of it all!!!  ;^)

Some Technic sets require the cutting of flex tubing.  This page of Set 8459
- Pneumatic Front End Loader instructions shows what the various lengths are
needed to cut the long pieces included in the box into:

(...) Ah, but that's the softer pneumatic pipes, not the harder flex-system tubing. (Although they could be the same now, as I haven't seen a pneumatic set since they introduced double-acting cylinders). Jason J Railton (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
