Check out the link to see ideas for a new geometry of Lego Tracks,

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=28054

Maybe with enough chatter on Lugnet and other sites Lego might decide to investigate the possibilities! Can’t hurt to try.

No, it can’t, but this topic isn’t new. Check out the ILTCO library for a presentation by Ben Fleskes about track geometry. He served up everything TLG would need to proceed with this idea years ago.

That’s my point, maybe one posting every few years doesn’t really constitute a real need to TLG, they might need a more blatant approach.

   I believe that TLG will never make the intellectual leap from LEGO trains as a toy to LEGO trains as a hobby. It’s too radical. (which sounds kind of silly, given some of the stinker ideas with which TLG has decided to run (ahem, Galidor, Znap, to name a few)

If they would of put that money into new track geometry they probably would recouped their costs, and possibly made a few dollars as well.

Thanks John, keep it going!
