Hi all {Lego Direct Question is at the End {1}}

I managed to get hold of a Viking Line Ferry Kit, No: 1924.

It a lovely big boat, 40 studs long and 8 2/3 studs high, see it here
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/medwards/temp/1924.jpg

Since it has no name, it has a sticker of the ship name on the boat which is
Isabella

So its 1924 - Isabella - Viking Line "Promo"
Made and copyright in 1992 and "Specially made for Viking Line"

Interested thought that this kit uses the same number as the 1924 Red
Motorbike Kit - Again a Promo for the Technic Line.
Has this ever happened before where 2 Promo kits use the same number?

Now this number/kit is not on Lugnet or on Brickset at preset ( Huw knows
about this now) But how do i inform the database administrators of this new
kit on Lugnet,

By posting to lugnet.admin.database (I've xposted this there).

I am also looking to upload a scan of the manual to brickshelf, but how?

Question

{1} - Why can't LEGO give Lugnet a list of all of the Lego Kits that are
ever made? I mean this boat is 9 years old, and i can't believe its not in
the listings, even though its a promo kit?

Lugnet is missing many promo sets. Brickset is by far the better
reference for promos. I guess it just isn't a priority of the data base
managers, combined with folks not being sure how or where to submit
data.

I also don't expect TLC to hand out data on all the sets produced, for
one thing, they may consider such somewhat proprietary information
(which of course CAN be discovered).
