Assuming the old-timers are not as moronic as I am, the question is this: How do I release the pantograph on an E40 (came with Starter Set 29985) from the locked-down position? I do not want to damage the pantograph -- it looks pretty delicate. I know there must be an easy way to do this, but it is not apparent at the moment, so plase help! Fred

Lift both hands, slowly, so you will lift the panto as well. There will be a point when you will think: hold it, it might break, but go on, it will then unfold itself. Do not apply a weightlifters' raw power though, it IS possible even for nine year old children !!! Regards, Hans
