Steve Barile dropped me a note, said he's having trouble posting, and

I did know that they were using the small train wheels but missed that
the wheels were riding on tiles. Bizzare. There is something funny going
on with the wheels at the end, too. they seem to go off the edge or
something.
Must be they didn't want to make a shorter rail segment (1). Too bad,
really, as a shorter version would be handy. No comments about hacksaws,
thank you.
1 - all the sets (2) that have used the 4.5V rail segment piece have
used the actual segment, not a shorter version of it, I think. Can
anyone contradict me?
2 - for instance 4555 freight loading station and 6761 bandit's secret

| Thanks for the insight. Just dreaming for future Lego creations. Maybe some person will come up with the motorization schematic? I have a wish that 9v would have more to offer. I was sort of disappointed in the recent catalogue. Kurt :-) (...) (25 years ago, 13-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
