 Paul,
 
 I don't think any of your posts have been too critical. Critically
 evaluating a set is great. Honestly, I feel badly that two of my designs
 that went out won't quite work with a motor. On the other hand, when I
 built my trolleycar the original way, my son (almost 7) rather quickly
 knocked off the parts that LEGO said weren't attached strongly enough.
 Thanks for the compliment.
 
 Sincerely,
 Chris
