The "new" magnet on couplings are a bit weaker due to plastic shielding. Adding 2nd set with a total of 4 carriages cause decoupling on sharp corners or uphills. Especially if you are using flexible tracks. You should go for a reversed 2nd motor on the back-end locomotive, then you could add 3rd set for a total of 6 carriages. If you are going only for display, then no problem 3rd set sure will look good.

Thank you all. :)

Please add me to Ankara, Turkey. (First Turkish flag i think) Thank you :)

Was laying bricks on doorstep at age of 6, and jumping over them continuously. I stepped on Lego and slipped away on my heads back. Was winter, car did not start up due to cold as my father tells, got into hospital with cab, had 32 stitches on the back of my head and a skull crack. Probably one of the most serious Lego related injuries you will ever hear. Didn't give up of course. :)

A Maersk/60052 like locomotive with 5-6+ grain/coal vagons would be much appreciated. :) Trying to get some extra vagons and containers for cargo trains but its hard and expensive. At least one of the trains for 2015 should be available with lots of vagons and a theme. We have cranes/stations from 7939 and 60052, would be part of a nice station/cargo layout with another good train.

A quick question, before moving out and creating my layout The 280 pound pledge includes 8x sbricks, and as each brick has 4 ports, would one get to control 128 devices (lights, track switches, trains, train light) on paper? Is it possible and safe to feed 1 train motor and 1 pf light on same output from sbrick? And last one, will there be any problem shipping to Turkey? Thank you.

I've been to flagship store in Denmark, it was a perfect experience with staff almost talking every language to help you. One of em especially is trying to learn saying hello and starting a conversation in 30+ languages including Turkish. It was a guy from Malmö, commuting everyday between countries. He helped alot and gave tricks about when to buy which set etc. Also visited Rickebrick (Spanish distributor in Barcelona) Ricardo is a perfect AFOL++. Europeans who are able to, should visit him. In Turkey w have 3 stores, managed by the country distributor, no LEGO Brand stores thou. Thse 3 stores are based on Lego but they sell Ravensburger products and board games too. Especially after the LEGO Office opening in Turkey service quality and set availability has gone way up. They inform about new arrivals, its nice to chat with them and i feel good visiting a store. Still would be better with a brand store i think.
