The Register speaks to one of the designers behind the latest Lego Ideas marvel: A clockwork solar system

Intrigued

With the rather limited range of 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 40 teeth cogs* I wonder how they make the more 'complex' ratios that the solar system throws up.

I hope they don't rely on Lego having to produce some more 'specialist' pieces - the range is too wide now for this old duffer... less is more!

*Maybe there are more these days and I did not include the worm gears.
