We've been asked for info/catalogues on Lego trains at every train show. They
simply are not available in the usual retail outlets which explains why we get
the same comment at every train show; "I didn't know Lego made
trains".Unfortunately the Lego company does not have a mechanism to supply these
catalogues or even standard range catalogues for this purpose, despite our
requests..
The scenes in the old catalogues really inspired me as a kid - you know the
ones, with non-set models sprawling as far as the eye could see, bridges,
smiling kids in amongst it all etc. There must be some experts out there who
have decided this is not worth it anymore!
