I was fooling around with my bricks today and I thought it up. If it can be
done-- It’s what I’ve always been looking for: Some way in which I can
integrate train axles into the technic system.... and thereby motorise
stuff, apart from other wonderful new things. Comments?

Yeah, 4 years ago by a some 12 year
old;-)

Oh I know about that one,
I tried it myself.
But today I compared the 2 wheels on a single axle and noticed that my
flanges are thinner, and should therefore be able to go through switch
points; something which the fanbelt wheels can’t do. IIRC anyway....

Ah, yes, okay, cool. I didn’t follow you closely enough-- I only parsed the
“integrate train axles into the technic” part. Ross is working on some new
electric power system but he’s hit the wall in terms of interest in the project
and I fear he won’t finish it. The ironic part is that he was working on
a,.....<pause>, 6 wide train!!!!! (but not what you think)
