Yea i wouldn't even think about pulling a 10 year sticker off it would be a
goner for sure.I like the design however.I at one time built a building for
my monorail trains to "park at night or to get repaired".I used my switch
track for a lead into the building then used some of my roll up garage
doors(bottom piece with handle notched to fit flush on track)to close it
up.It was made mostly of red with those 2x2 red windows and black roof
slopes.I hope to rebuild before our next train show.

| Ah - I see that you are right. Unfortunately, I bought this set from someone else, who bought it from yet another person. It was that third person that applied the sticker impromperly. I'm afraid to change it now given that its almost 10 years old! (...) (26 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)
