The most interesting thing about that catalog picture is that the hospital
building is the ONLY "set" in that diorama that is NOT shown in the catalog.
That is something that I could never figure out. Every other set in that
picture is in that catalog. Even though I had (and still have) Engine
Company No. 9, I always thought that this hospital was the best set in that
entire scene. I wonder if anyone at Lego can shed some light on this
mystery? My guess is that this was a set that was scheduled for release but
for some reason was scrapped before production.
