Hello,
I was thinking. There are some themes Lego could've made for WW. The theme
never had a train (unless you modify the #3225 Classic train a little).Just
gunslingin' in towns, forts, and indian villages doesn't cover all of the wild
west theme. A train could make it more complete. There could of also been
mexican sets. Mexican villages could make great sets(minifig sombreros!). As
for confederates, sorry dudes. The Wild West was around the latter 1800's, say
1885. After the civil war ended in 1865, the blue soldiers took over, headed
west, and were then referred to as calvary officers(geez, don't ya'll read the
S@H descriptions?they say calvary officers.)Anyways, that's my two cents on
new WW series.

Historicly the wild west was not just after the civil war. The westward
expansion started much earlier than the Civil war. There was even battles
fought in the west. Therefore I say why no confederates. Even after the
civil war many confederate soldiers wore parts of their rag tag uniforms in
their civilian lives when they return home.
I totally agree with the other points that you made. I think that everyone
would agree with the fact that they need a train set. I remember talking
before about a southern theme with mexicans before and I would love to see
that. Also it would be nice to see a northern theme with mountain men and
maybe even canadian mounties.

David, keep up your great work on customising the confederates, they look
great !
Surely the Western train is something the Guild of Brickies should put their
minds to, otherwise we may be waiting forever.
The Mexican theme is a great idea too !

How about Lewis and Clark? Just in time for the bicentenial.
Mountain men and trading posts with more animals like deer and bison.
SETTLERS. An absolute must have. Farmers with plows, covered wagons,
stagecoaches, cabins and soddies, prospectors, snake oil salesmen, railroad
construction crews, school marms and "sporting ladies". The list could go on
as long as my arm.

You are right we might be waiting forever for a Western train, but we can
still hope. Maybe even pray.
I don't even think they would have to do the whole western theme over. The
train could stand on its own. Give a little more vareity to the train theme
if nothing else.

A western train would fit well in my idea for a pioneer theme, which you can
see at http://www.lugnet.com/general/?n=20012.
