Last weekend, we participated in the train event of the COSI in Toledo, OH, together with MichLTC, and 2 other non-Lego clubs. It was a good show, and it was great to talk to the MichLTC crowd. Despite that half of our stuff is tied up at the Shrine (...) (21 years ago, 17-Dec-03, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.loc.us.oh, FTX) !!

The sliding dorsa are brilliantly simple. They move in a similar manner to sliding plug doors and your design has given me inspiration for use on smaller passenger stock doors. Tim (21 years ago, 17-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm 99% sure "$3 each" is for one wheel. $6 for a pair of them. Still a very reasonable price, in my opinion! I've already bought almost a dozen of these 'beta' wheels, and I'll buy more when the 'production' version comes out. JohnG, GMLTC (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)

It says $3 each on the website. That is $3 per each PAIR, right? Not whining, just clarifying. It seems a very reasonable price. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)
