Hi Train Fans!

The new IR-train system will get a very cool add-on, which may make it much more
desirable for adult fans: LEGO will bring out an IR-reciever as stand-alone
solution (4x4x66 brick with 2x2 glass bulb on top).

Well I don't think 4x4x66 will be very useful, especially on April 1st ;)

Hi Rosco,

Todd must have implemented a tool which deletes all "0." in messages coming from
me on April Fools Day. Of course I meant to have typed "0.66". But nevertheless:
you got me. And I admit this wasn't my best April Fools Joke. It is hard to top
the year 2000. Still I had to try and this time at least few German newbies at
1000steine got fooled....

The year 2000 joke:

(...) So you're saying this is a 4x4 block, 2 plates high plus the 2x2 bulb on top? Just want to be sure of the correct information :-) Mark (19 years ago, 2-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Ben, Your year 2000 April Fools prank will always be my favourite. I loved those "sets". Play well. Tim Strutt (19 years ago, 4-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains)
