(...) How about an alternative available through Shop-At-Home that doesn't include the power supply and regulator? Or track even? 4511 looks good, though I think I might pass. Nice to see a Lego figure boarding a train with a valid ticket for once (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Question on the #4514 ((URL) does the drawing at the bottom-left show the minifig with the red kerchief and blue hat, when he's not included in the set? Is he there because he's in one of the other sets? To me, that little drawing looks like (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

Something that I just noticed is that the 4512 locomotive truly looks like it resembles set 4564's engine. Is this the same engine only different colors and a different removable top? And, 4511 has some strange lights on the front of the engine. The (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
