| | | | | | | | I bet it has to do with the number of doors and windows packed in each set. 3734 has 5 left doors and 5 right doors. This is enough doors for 2 Metroliner style cars. However you need 10 windows for each car. So to create your two cars, 2 packs of (...) (22 years ago, 23-Apr-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)
