Hey all, Well I’m at it again. This time I bring you something with more usability. As most of you reading this should know the Lego Company recently released 2 IR train sets. While the idea is great, the implementation left much to be desired. The (...)

(...) I would suggest just not using the new IR baseplate. I have the new freight set and I am not pleased with the pulling power of the train. Just pulling the 4 cars that come in the set, the wheels slip. So I guess I dont see the need to want to (...) (18 years ago, 29-Jul-06, to lugnet.trains)
