I was wondering this myself. What is a train part?
There are some obvious ones, track, wheels, buffers/couplings, train motors,
train base/bogie plate and any new control components for the new infra red
system.
However the nature of Lego means that any other part from the entire range can
probably be used to build a train (how about a KK2
body!http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1388197). So what would you
need in a generic train building set?
