How soon were you planning to take advantage of that resale value anyway? My (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Yeah, momorail is funny :). Anyway, the only thing they need to design is the track wheel. All other parts thy have, a 9V motor, a battery box, and technick gears. They'd have to make 1 part that is a regular technik gear, with attached the (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Awesome cars! The shovel roof really looks nice, and the cars themselves are incredible. The ends have gotta be my favorite part, with the drop down deck and the entire thing being SNOT. Very spiffy. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains)
