Have to get a closer look when I'm at work with a T1. I did have a chance to
notice the snow plow. It looks like there is a special wheel between the
other two. Perhaps it is used to drive the blade on the snow plow? That
would be cool. Also the train wash has a 9v symbol on it. Does that mean the
rotatry brushes are motorized? If so, do they get the power from the track?
Hmm. lots of questions.
Guess we can pretty much wash away all the rumors of the train line being
discontinued. :)
Also, I wouldn't quite call the sets train jr. Just a little more on the play
side then realism side. All in all, I consider Lego trains a toy train and
not a model train.
