| (...) Thanks for the news and pics, Mike. These look nice & beefy. Looking forward to the yellow ladders and 1x2x2 yellow thin walls. Glad to see that TLC is still able to reach out to train fans with the current state of business. And, glad they (...) (20 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) These are nice - I'll definitely be buying a set or two. I think the ends of the cars need a little work, too many studs for my liking and the narrowness there bothers me a bit. Also, the containers seem a little off, but hey, that's what's (...) (20 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Cute set, but I question the 'play value'. No minifig, nothing to put *into* the containers, no crane to load and unload them -- it's just something to go around the track. A bit juniorized for us die-hard Train heads, but I think the average (...) (20 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Perhaps the lack of sales of trains with LEGO's target markes is because THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW LEGO TRAIN EXIST!!

| (...) Well, as someone who doesn't know enough about trains to know the difference between European and North American trains, I have to say that I really like this new set. I'm delighted that LEGO is offering this new set and plan to pick up 2 or 3 (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
