In general, I’d love to open this conversation up to the community at large.
We’ve had quite a bit of conversation (as SteveB can attest) with the Signal
group about what parts are the “core” parts that are needed to make trains.
We have an initial palette, and I may be able to share that later. But before
I do that, I’d really like to hear from the greater community. What do you
think? What parts (not necessarily “train” parts) are needed to create the
widest variety of trains possible?

Here’s another go with some parts ideas to support building trains.
Fun discussion!
later,
James Mathis

| (...) I haven't seen the 9v train motor included in the palette, I would think that this is an essential part of any train. Or even the new RC motor. Why is it that Lego can produce 3225, 4511, 4551 with a motor for just a little more than they are (...) (19 years ago, 21-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

More info as we can release (and when we actually have decisions to release!). In general, I'd love to open this conversation (...) (19 years ago, 16-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
