(...) Hi Ray, That's not a bad idea! I ended up with about 20 of those after the clearance sales. I was thinking that there should be a good way to use them. I may have to try your method and see what I can do. Thanks for passing it on... Tom (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

Hi! I was trying to do the same thing as in 4533 ((URL) with the technic wheels. It seems to be more on those wheel than on the train-wheels, tilting on one of the train wheelsets. Is it so? I wonder how is the 4533 done? Would anyone be so king and (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)
