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
