(...) Ooh, I like your V2... it has lots of parts that non trainies would like too (they can trade off the few train specific things like wheels...) Some nits to pick I think I'd go with more large windows than small, maybe 2:1? Have to agree on the (...) (19 years ago, 20-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

James, these renderings are fantastic. My favorites from James' list - (URL) red train motor decorations! That would be great for building German style engines with red bases and wheel sets. (URL) simply cannot have enough curved pieces. (URL) in (...) (19 years ago, 20-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) That is a very cool selection of peices, (URL) this one> makes me think Swiss train immediatly! The only changes I would suggest at the moment are more large/less small windows and have the 1x2 light brick in black instead of white. Tim (19 years ago, 21-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) 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)

(...) Wouldn't this palette be for those people that want to build MORE trains than what the sets with motors enable? I may not be average, far from it, but I have **plenty** of motors already, and hardly ANY tan 1x4x3 train windows. (== "none" ) So (...) (19 years ago, 21-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) i agree on the ratio 2:1 but for the colors i would rather see all of the green parts as dark green. now yes dark green is more valuble which would make a good excuse in its self but the real reason is dark green is more valuble to (...) (19 years ago, 21-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) A good point, what is the vision? I expected that if you buy the train kit you would be able to build a train, and not just have a collection of bits. If it contains 6 windows in 6 colours, that will not help anybody, you would want 36 windows (...) (19 years ago, 24-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
