Actually, if we onle get ONE new part, I want a metal wheelset with
power connection. I want several new parts, but not a huge number
(roughly in order of desireability):
- Metal wheelset with power connection
- Train motor with jumper between power pickup and motor
- Exchangeable wheels for the train motor
- At least one larger track radius, preferrably two or three
- 9v turnout with 4.5v/12v geometry
- 9v turnout with diverging track one curve (at each curve radius
offered) similar to "toy train" turnouts
- Two part wheelset where the frame detail is a separate part
- US style truck frame for wheelsets
- Half and quarter straight sections (while these are nice, they aren't
strictly necessary with current track geometry)
- Straight track section for 45 degree placement wrto studs
- Ballast sections for all track pieces
- Track with brown ties
3rd party parts I would buy:
- DCC decoder compatible with 9v and some way to connect it to studs and
preferably with LEGO 9v connections
- Kadee coupler box with studs
- Additional specialty wheels
- specialty parts kits for specific prototypes which are in the LEGO
tradition of doing as much as possible with existing bricks
