I found the linked site with an in-depth introduction to Duplo rails even more interesting:

https://www.cailliau.org/Alphabetical/L/Lego/Duplo/Train/Rai...

I owned both "new-type" and "old-type" (black) Duplo rails as a kid. I remember that even as a 4-year-old, I was annoyed with the old-type black rails and greatly preferred the new ones.



Is that from the link by user Weathervane? Any idea why the rest of their comment it total gibberish? “gjryir frpgvbaf qb abg znxr na rknpg pvepyr, gurer vf n fznyy bireync, naq fb znxr n pv” etc.?


That's rot13. We used to use it a lot in the good old days, mainly as a way of obscuring spoilers in usenet posts, but sometimes just for fun.

I bet I'm not the only person here who can read it – rather haltingly – without decoding it first.
