BTW, you can hit the up button and see his other stuff. Worth a look. Pretty cool (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) I think that I didn't make myself clear. All I am asking for is that the new run of 10152s be numbered "10153" or something. This simple change preserves the collectiblity of the 10052s. I wasn't suggesting any more radical change than that. (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)
