Maybe we're spending too much time on the quality of the graphics. Lets look
at the sets themselves. Where would those wheels on the 4460 and the gray
wheels on the 4432. And the doors and windows on the passenger cars on the
4450? Those are awesome creations if they weren't made by LEGO.

I think I'll hold out hope that they are real. We did hear rumors a few
weeks back about digital trains from LEGO coming out soon.

THIS IS A HOAX


I'm going to hope that it is real...  I'm thinking these aren't the final
versions of the pictures, that this is being used to test layout, colors,
whatever.  Yes, the picture quality is lower than what we're used to, but • I've
seen prototype images direct from LEGO that were lower quality than these.

Too many things point to it being a hoax, IMO.  Also, While the quality is • low,
whoever made it, tried to make it as real as possible.  The Train Logo is • way
too clear, while the Lego Logo is way too fuzzy...

(...) Image quality is a big part of determining if it is a fake. IMO, at least. For example, is it just a bad scan? What evidence is there for or against this? One piece of evidence is that many of the colors are too universal for it to be a scan. (...) (24 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
