I’m usually not on Factory/Pick-a-Brick, but have been this week. In just the
past couple of days, it looks like they’ve made some changes to the train
elements:
Added
- Train Buffer 2 (Design ID: 64422, Category: Transportation Means, Trains)
- Prepack With 4 Axle (Element ID: 4492719, Category: Not Aproved New Elements)
Removed
- individual axles
- the old buffers
- magnets
- magnet holders
Is it me, or does the new buffer look like its hard-mounted and inflexible?
Also, what happened to the old elements? Any chance we’ll get them back?

Grey minifigs, police and viking torsos, crossbows, suitcases, skulls, armor, skeletons, cupboards, new heads, new colors of chairs (...) (17 years ago, 3-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) I'm including images of the buffers: (2 URLs) Well these parts are horrible, I model mostly US trains. And I'm not interested in having my coupler combined with a buffer. I mosly use this part (URL) or this (URL) and toss the regular buffers (...) (17 years ago, 4-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| Does anyone know how often new Factory parts trickle down to Digital Designer. Do we have to wait for a new version of LDD or can it be updated? (17 years ago, 6-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
