TrainTrack

The actual design of the car is very interesting, it's built horizontally, instead of vertically.

Glad we all agree, this is a nice board, glad I found it. :smile:

We will have to wait and see.

Same problem here, and Firefox.

Actually, looking at this picture. It looks like an extremelly big set. It has a mobile crane and everything. I take the comments back. Plus, the passenger train is very well priced.

There's been an uproar over the new power system for LEGO train's. using battery packs. Can we not just simply add our 9V train motors to the bottom and use it as you would a normal train. It would be like converting the hogwarts express to 9V. Forgive me if there is something stopping this, but it looks 100% possible from the pictures.

What a raw deal, that's such a harsh price. I'm so happy I got 4561 at $50, because I wouldn't have paid the amount it was originally valued at. This R.C. stuff, does that mean you can't leave your train on and sit back and look at it, because you have to constantly have your finger on the forward buton on the R.C contoller. Also, will we still be able to regulate the speed, as in, different paces instead of simple forward, backwards.

The link above is the kind of dream train I mean. Oh yeah, I wihs TLC made that newer squarish Santa Fe that can be seen in the pictures.

V-LC-18D Truck Don't know if you guys have seen these, but take a look though. The truck won't be amazing to most, but I think it is a cool design. Car Truck By the way, if this is old, delete the topic, I won't be annoyed. :smile:

Really loving the cement mixer, see, why can't TLC be this good. Get some average joes into the set design team. Cement Mixer

I'm a little annoyed at the change, although if R.C. Switch Points and signals can come with the changes, I'm al for it. Love the new train designs though. Oh yeah, is there anything stopping you from adding an ( Volt motor on to the trains and running them as usual. Much like converting the Hogwarts Express model, just do the same with these trains. Let me know if it's possible

Actually, the newer sets are more in scale with minifigs, the trucks etc. from the eighties look far too small to be real. I was exstatic about the crane though, what a big b that is. Love the way the jib is going to work. This will finally mean a realistic way to transfer train carriages to track. Wait a minute, use the bridge transport as a train transport (by road), and then the crane the move from truck to track. Hey hey. :biggrin:

I really do wish LEGO went back to the Western theme and elaborated on it somewhat. My dream LEGO train has to be a 50 truck 5 locomotive cargo train. Using the engines components from the 4565. SOunds bizare, but I think it would look extremelly cool to have a huge train.

That's strange, I was thinking about that as I looked at the new Airplane, and now someone has done it. Oh yeah, JR 300 anyone?

This guy sounds like Max Headroom gone even more wrong.
