| Many thanks for your excellent and interesting work done here, Philo! I own the new Power function trains for not much more than a week and found them wonderful and very sufficient until now. These new PF trains are strong, fast and it is so much (...) (14 years ago, 5-Sep-10, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

| Hi Ludo, (...) I don't know precisely for the 9V motor casing, but I think it is possible. For sure, RC and PF motors are mechanically compatible (see (URL) after moderation: (URL) Anyhow, great from LEGO to use a better (...) ...and for RC train! (...)

| | | | | Re: Train motors comparison
|
| (...) Hi Philo, Thanks for this information. I can imagine that you have only one motor for testing purpose, but if possible, can you open the PF motor to see if it can be placed in the 9V train motor casing? I'm convinced that several people are (...) (14 years ago, 2-Sep-10, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Train motors comparison
|
| (...) Okay, this is awesome work, Philippe, to see the comparison of the new PF motor vs the 9 volt motor. As an eight wider, I always lamented the underpowered 9 volt motor in its attempts to pull heavy, 8 wide consists. But it wasn't such an issue (...)

| (...) Yup, pretty much. Note the track up on the Tinker-Toy bridge, which plays an important role in the make-believe opening. (...) Ah, if only they had pause buttons in movie theaters...

| | | | | Re: Toy Story Train: Life Imitating Art, or Not?
|
| (...) No. That is, I don't think so. The train features in a "make believe" scene at the start of the movie, and the version we see at this time looks VERY different from the LEGO set. Not only is there a coal car, but there are at least three (...) (14 years ago, 18-Jul-10, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
