Hello@all,
I didn't found something about #10022 and #10025 in the LUGNET, so I think
this is interesting for train fans:
http://www.b-o-a.de/01.jpg
There will be two new sets for the Santa Fe Train available in September:
#10022; 411 pieces; $34.99: For building a Dining Car, Observation Car _OR_
Sleeping Car
#10025; 326 pieces; $34.99: For building a Mail Car _OR_ a Baggage Car
So you need 3x #10022 and 2x #10025 to build all cars.
This information comes from a catalog called "Shop at Home Trains - Your
Official LEGO Train Catalog" with 16 pages written in English and Francais
(no German, but I had it in my recently bought Santa Fe box!). Also shown
are the Fokker, Sopwith and the USS Constellation. I don't want to scan the
whole catalog, because I think it will be available in new sets soon.
Leg Godt!

Excellent news! Let's hope and prey that the roofs are made from 2x3 curved
bricks. Can you tell from the brochure? The look like they might be from the
scan.
If the windows are clear 2x2x1 thin walls, they too will be very useful.

Way cool. Of course I'll need more than 5 of these because they need to be
"stretched" quite a bit. Something like 50% more should do the trick... that
will give room to expand the trucks a bit too.

There's another picture above the scanned part where the cars are in a
3D-view. So, yes, it's right, the roofs are built with 3x2 curved bricks.
Also the windows are clear panels 1x2x2.
There's the slogan "All New Silver Bricks!" and the arrow goes to a 1x2
brick with grille
(http://www.rene-hoffmeister.de/1000steine/teilereferenz/searchcsv.pl?method=exact&search=2877).
But I can't see if all these 1x2 bricks are silver or only one per car/set.
Leg Godt!

PS: Did you got my last mail? I would be really very happy if you could do
the little changes :-)))

Wow, I love them!
And I think it's a good strategy by Lego Direct to create 5 different cars but
put the bricks in just 2 different sets.
Kind Regards,
Ben
P.s.: I know Lego Direct cannot do new moulds, but this set would have been
even much cooler if there was an 1x1x1 corrugated brick. (Possibly one of the
worst gaps in the available brick assortment.) Please TLC give us just a tiny
little 1x1x1 brick instead of some dozen Gallidork arms (Best a mixed colour
bulk pack like jumper bricks)...

Good. They've almost got them to the correct length of 40 studs.

It is an interesting idea, the multiple-model sets: they will allow plenty
more room for customizations, not to mention the fact that the leftovers
will surely be put to use elsewhere. The first atteempt with the locos must
have been successful! :-)
I am interested in the whole "range", and looking forward to see some more
details of the sets as soon as they are up for sale.

I called US S@H inquiring about set #10025, and the sales rep said: "It
looks like they will be available next week." The scanned catalog said #10022
will be available in September so I didn't ask about that one. Looks like S@H
will receive $104.97, plus shipping, from me real soon!

Nice, very nice!
While I love the special attention given this TRAINS/TOWN line by LEGO,
WHERE ARE the other popular themes of CASTLE, PIRATES and SPACE headed!! It
seems to me that all the folk at LEGO Direct love their TRAINS/TOWN and that
the new releases are bent that way. Don't let there be a Christmas without
CASTLE, PIRATES and SPACE again!!! (I want to buy my kids LEGO for X-Mas,
but I can't do TRAINS three years in a row without them saying, "Not
again!") Don't let your market slip away LEGO!
This rant is due to the latest Shop At Home catalog I received, man is it
dull! The only bright gems for multiple set buying (for parts) are the
Harry Potter, LEDGENDS or some STAR WARS. The ISLAND EXTREME is really
limited in usefulness, JACK STONE is boring even to my 5 year old, GALIDOR
does not inspire him or me at all and the only way we can seem to get sets
with real bricks is to NOT BUY FROM LEGO, but rather from Bricklink or eBay!
My son loves the TRAIN line, but he wants a little variety that is as well
made. So do I.
Can I have a job at LEGO Direct so I can get more CASTLE, PIRATES and SPACE
themes added to with more re-issues and new designs!?!???
Brad? Did you hear me? Put a CASTLE-head, SPACE-head or scurvy-PIRATE on
the payroll of your department, and I've officially requested all three
positions for ME!

I like 36 studs long (for 6-wide) coaches but I admit that 40 _looks_ better
and appears more real. Functionally, I find 36 works good so I stick with it.

The baseplates will definitely be the old 28-studs ones. Lego Direct does not
make new moulds as we know....
Take a look at the wheel arrangement and you will notice them to be placed far
away from the waggon face sides. That is because the baseplate is prolonged
with standard plates (probably 4times 2x6 in total per waggon).
At the second waggon from the left you can see the gap 2 studs from the waggon
end away.
Leg Godt,
Ben
P.s.: Other question: will the luggage car set come with 8 doors or with 4
doors on just one side?

Interesting. I called Shop at Homes yesterday (7/3). When I inquired about
either car, I was told that they wouldn't be available until sometime in
September. The woman I spoke with sounded sceptical about September
availability.
After your post, I called Shop at Home again (7/4). It must have been a
different location of Shop at Home because 7/4 is a US holiday. Anyway, the
woman did not find either number in her system. I repeated the numbers to
ensure I said them correctly and even gave her a description. No luck.

I'm surprised no one has commented on the incomplete color schemes. The cars
of Sante Fe passenger cars match the color scheme of the engine (War
Bonnet). These cars are missing the yellow and red stripes along the sides.
Not big issue, mind you. Easily remedied by a purchase of bulk plates.
To me, these pictures look more like pre-production models than what will
actually be available at retail. I can't see Lego not using the gray train
windows that are so plentiful.

I'm not sure they actually *are* missing those stripes. Many pictures of
typical ATSF stock from the period show them to be all stainless. For
instance the ATSF Super Chief reference that John has posted a few times
does not show stripes IIRC.
However I agree, I'd probably add stripes anyway even if they are not
prototypical.

Why? Those windows are too large for American practice, they go better with
european stock (this despite the fact that I use them in two of my american
models, MTW-3001 and MTW-3002 as passenger windows and in MTW-2001 as cab
side windows).... I'm GLAD they're going to be using thin walls which are
handy for many applications and have been scarce.

Fine set of cars. But as for the 'silver': I fear those bricks are molded in
the new swirly plastic that is supposed to look metallic, but actually looks
like really cheap plastic. May still be nice for a change as opposed to
regular bricks, but not half als great as actual chromed pieces, especially
for these train cars.
As for the windows; TLG may prefer thin panels here because they are much
cheaper (single part) than classic train windows (two parts).

Hmmm. Every model I've seen of the Super Chief has had the stripes. Since I
haven't researched the prototype, maybe the designers of the models had used
too much "poetic license". Maybe other trains of the time didn't have the
same decorating scheme.
As far as the windows being too large, I'm not into "scale modeling" (please
use a loose definition as I know Lego is not scale). I prefer to capture the
essence which may more be only in my mind. The gray windows look fine in the
Metroliner.

I like these, and I like the idea of having optional builds with each set.
Rumours were that we'd see a B-kit before anything else, but these are a
nice surprise.
I do wonder about the mass appeal of these though - clearly they're aimed at
people who have a Super Chief, so I hope Lego Direct aren't launching at too
small a market.
Am I the only one who suspects that the labelling on these images is out of
order though? Why would a mail car have all windows? And a dining car may
be partly enclosed for a kitchen, but such tiny windows? This may be
typical of a buffet car, but aren't long-haul dining cars usually all big
windows with a separate kitchen car behind? I suspect that these two are
the wrong way round.

That's what I assumed. First time I saw it is in the printed curved wings
of the Green Goblin's flyer <set:1374>. I got a handful of bricks in it
from the RLD backstage visit to LLW, left over from their Virgin Atlantic
747-400 cockpit model. It's a little more shiny than normal bricks, but you
can clearly see flow lines from the injection process. With light at some
angles it doesn't even look any different from light grey.
It all depends on the mould - if the flow lines all show up on the side of
the bricks with horizontal ridges, it'll look bad. If the flow lines are on
the vertical ridge side, and so hidden inside the model, it'll be alright.
Whether it'll look good with just some silver amongst the grey though I
don't know.

I had just come to the same conclusion regarding the mis-labelled images for
the Dining Car and Mail Car - comparing to the images at the well-referenced
"Fallen Flags" page -
http://www.midwestnpioneer.org/timetable/fallenflags/superchief.html
It would be strange too if one of the alternative models needs no doors and
the other (at least) four.

And every model you've seen is incorrectly modeling the prototype... ;-)
http://www.midwestnpioneer.org/timetable/fallenflags/superchief.html
(that's the page that John Neal dug up that I referred to in my post)
No stripes on the prototype. This has been discussed before. I agree that
models *can* look good with stripes. I'm *glad* LD left them out though, and
I'd prefer that they try to be as prototypical as possible in their efforrts
whenever possible. We can make changes as we like. But let's not foster
incorrect stuff among the mundanes, eh? Let LD get it right and then we can
change it if we want.

Varies all over the map. Name trains of the time often had unique schemes or
at least different schemes than their more ordinary counterparts. Stripes,
bands, all stainless, you name it. All had SOME prototype. (anything you can
imagine probably had a prototype somewhere)
But we're talking about SUPER CHIEF(tm) cars, not random ATSF cars or random
"some other line" cars. Best evidence seems to be that they had no stripe.
Remember that the warbonnets usually were run in ABBA config so there was no
stripe to continue!... the trailing loco was run nose last so the thing that
faced the consist was the red cab end.

Agreed, they look fine in a more modern (and more european in derivation)
passenger train. But the smaller ones look better here. More prototypical.
Plus this brings out a part that was hard to come by instead of a part
that's already available in bulk. You can buy bulk grey windows and change
yours to suit. It's LEGO(r)!!!! Be happy they chose NOT to use these
windows. We get more parts.
Hope that helps.

I would have expected TLC to do them in the same color as the 8448 supercar
wheel hubs, silver champion etc.

I've heard from a very reliable source that 10025 WILL be available next week,
but that 10022 will be Sept/Oct.
I wonder why 10022 is delayed so much over 10025?

My bet-- the current unavailability of the clear macaroni in the 100022.

Ok, I admit my ignorance on this...
What is the *official* name of the macaroni? I ran a search on Lugnet and
there was no match... what is it???

Here's its link in the parts ref: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3063
When searching Bricklink, it would be a brick modified IIRC.

So *that's* what it looks like... Thanks, John!
Should I e-mail somebody at partsref to place the keyword macaroni?
BTW, why is it called that way?
(as a sidenote, I called it a "rounded-corner brick" - go figure)

You could. The person to contact would be Dan Boger. It's called that because
the element literary resembles the macaroni pasta shape.
(Which BTW is the backbone of the American culinary favorite "macaroni and
cheese") :-d

,,, I hope my sales rep wasn't newer than your's, if so, I doubt the new one
would know more than yours knew!

actually, partsref is Steve Bliss' project, and the keywords are built in to
the ldraw dat file for that part. So to add a keyword "correctly", the dat
needs to be modified... to add it without changing the dat, talk to Steve,
maybe he can change something in partsref to add it artificially...

Steve wouldn't do something like that. He'd actually go change the DAT
file, submit it to the parts admin at ldraw.org for posting on the Parts
Tracker, and let nature take its course from there.
Eventually, the updated file would be released in an ldraw.org parts
update, and Partsref would suck in the new keyword.
