Hi. I have a picture of the Aus box for the 4561, which is different from the one in the set database. Does anyone want this made available, if so how do I submit it? ROSCO (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Certainly an interesting question. Of course it's possible the box cover is wrong for 2_7. It's also possible there's a difference in how to count compund pieces (like wheels), though I'm not sure this set has many wheels. It's also possible (...)

As most of us know how rare this set is, I doubt that we'll ever see another one...with that said I (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.admin.database)

He would have been able to get it for $1200 or so (about five bucks over my max) were it not for some no-namer who dropped a $2222 bid at the last minute. John's original bid (...)

(...) Set #720 was the first 12V set in 1969, years before the grey era starts (1980). So there are also 12V blue rails trainsets. As I posted in another note - the only thing that makes rails 4.5V or 12V is the conducting piece, a rails piece (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Nope, for example set 725 is a blue rails 12V set and set 7722 is a grey rails 4.5V set. I guess the guide uses 'did the set ship with conducting pieces' as basic rule if a set is a 12V or a 4.5V set. By that rule all push-train sets (7710 for (...)
