This joke was not even inside of an Easter egg. The bunny must be busy pulling capers on everyone else.

I called them 'legos' during my kid years (not anymore), only because that's what my parents called them (and still do). Part numbers: Yes, a number w/o a picture or link is a real bummer. I'll leave the thread if I cannot understand what is being discussed otherwise. Same goes for set numbers. At least, give the name of the part or set in question. I have gotten the "Is that a set?" question a few times; it does not really bother me. Maybe because it seldom happens. The real shame is calling clone brands 'legos'. Do the same people call all computers 'IBMs', all cars 'fords' and all toilet paper 'charmin'? In some parts of the USA, all fizzy drinks are called 'coke', regardless of brand.

When I saw those clear RR tracks, I immediately thought Ghost Train! Ice train is just as good a contender. Anything that is clearly trainsparent.

What Causes Lego Bricks to Deteriorate?

Just make sure those pieces get a good washing after the party. It would not hurt to wash your hands before doing the LEGO thing.- 25 replies

Do you have any of those LEGO flexi-track segments? They might be a good candidate for coaster track, as (from what I have read) they flex well up and down, too. How much, I do not know. I do not have any, so no way I could find out.

I have done that. Not with instruction cardboard (When did that start?), but with the boxes. The Akro-Mills cabinets I use came with dividers, but in too-low quantity (1 per drawer), so I made copies. They slot right in.

This so needs to happen! Suggest this to TLG; they need to get an eyeful of this!

Childhood Layouts! (Meanwhile, back in 1980-something...)

You also had your own sliding glass door to the outside? You had it made for a white! Shame it all ended. At least, you kept your entire LEGO collection, and have continued to add to it. -
BrickTracks: different curves, PF/9V compatible
splatman replied to JopieK's topic in LEGO Train Tech
For conductive rails, try layers: A layer of copper tape, followed by a layer of stainless steel tape. The Cu tape will provide a fast track for the electric current, while the SS tape will provide the needed durability. -
Empty LEGO boxes are just as good a candidate. Cut along the corner with the seam and lay flat. Larger boxes with their thicker, stiffer sides are good for making larger trays.
