Hi everybody, please read the message below I rarely watch this group But i am amazed by the pictures, but the following things puzzle me 1. Since when those DB stickers come back? I thought they belong to the 12V not to 9V 2. Look at 4450 Right at (...) (26 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.general) !

Awe man, good call! Yep, forget it. It is a hoax (April fools joke, as someone pointed out). And it's probably one of the best I've seen.

(...) 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... Jeff (26 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains) !

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.
