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 • >

I see what you mean about the buffers, although I assume you mean the magnet
that is hard mounted. The ability to pivot to allow the correct polarity to
face outwards if vital really, otherwise you end up with the Brio problem of
having to have all your stock one way round. It maybe simply a crap picture
tho. And why, when new moulds cost money, do they produce another version?

| (...) This is my guess. The magnet looks like it might spin and pivot so it might still work. My guess is that it will have to work otherwise they would have to have 2 different buffers, one front and one Back. -Eric (17 years ago, 3-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
