(...) Sure thing - you should glue it back on to take advantage of the full functionality, but it's not critical per se. I've used superglue on a couple of mine, when some used motors' clips split away from the main body of the motor. That (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

My first foray into Space (URL) all I have to do is locate all the parts to build it.

(...) Ah yes, good points. I just threw together a small test loop with some intentional grades (2 plate per track slope) and some uneven transitions (pieces of cardboard under the track). The couplings seemed to perform well, but then I probably (...) (20 years ago, 19-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hey Dave, it'd make a great telephone poll too! I like the detailing, but IMO its too thick for fig scale. Have you considered using technic/system rods instead? Thanks! Legoswami (20 years ago, 19-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
