Pretty cool! Doubt you'd ever see it on Antiques Roadshow 50 years from now, but cool nonetheless!

I think it's been slashdotted.

It just worked for me. Pretty cool.

Took a few days, but got there now.

That is really excellent work.

I remember saving for my car chassis set about this time 25 years ago (cost $125, so I asked all relatives to give me cards and cash for Christmas).

Had great fun, but was disappointed that the two gears (2 speed box) were opposite handed. i.e the engine turned clockwise in 1st, and anticlockwise in 2nd.

When I mad eit FWD, I fixed that

I still have my first set I recieved 30 years ago.
About 6 years ago I got a wild hair and decided to build all the sets (about 17) as I had never done that before. It was pretty neat and took me quite a while as all the pieces (2000+?) were mixed up.
