Aaargh, just when I want to build my own town I see that there´s no trains in the 2000 catalogue! Stupid TLG, discontinue the trains when I want them so baad! Now I´ll have to buy them in auctions and stuff. I´d better buy a *lot* of track and all (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

The black train windows came from a 4559 which has 4. Also, you might think of getting 2 5542's if you want to make one in all black. Most of the yellow pieces also occur in black in that set, so 2 should allow you to substitute most of the yellow (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.build)

What I think is coolest about this is that the 5542 is really "correct minifig scale" rather than the usual tiny toy choppers the figs are stuck using... I may convert to 8 wide trains yet. (naaaa...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.publish, lugnet.modelteam)

(...) I've built the shuttle twice. But I spend about 2hrs sorting peices beforehand (I've never mixed it with the rest of the collection) and maybe 8hrs building. And yes those fiddly little black bits get me every time. James from Oz (25 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.build)

Dang, now I'm going to have to buy another 5542, and dig out my black train windows ;-) How about closeups of the minigun? Is the minifig holding it, or is it mounted? It looks neat, I'm trying to think up different ways to swivelmount it with what (...) (25 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.publish, lugnet.modelteam)
