(...) Thanks for the tip Ondrew, I was disapointed with the stickers my ink jet produced. I am going to try using one of the laser copiers at my work at some point as I had a much better (and shinier) match to the LEGO colours. Chris (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Yes, but I'd argue that the current 9 volt system is a toy train sytem. Hobbyists are after something more complex, like DCC, motorized switches, alternative geometries on curves, DRIVERS FOR STEAM ENGINES, etc. It is remarkable to me that TLG (...)

(...) well well done. the model is seemingly simple but well executed. i think my only gripe would be your stickers. try putting clear box tape over your stickers before you cut them and apply them to your engine. this emulates the shineyness of (...)

(...) It's not a question of whether or not I'll buy the set. Even if I didn't want the set, I would consider purchasing it if I knew that it had a direct bearing on the fate of 9 volt (which I'd like to continue). I think you and DaveE have made (...)

(...) Elroy pretty much has it. This set is marketed as part of the 9v Electric system. It is meant for LEGO Train "Hobbiests" not just kids that want to build a LEGO kit and watch it go around the track a few times. Everyone is welcome to their own (...)
