For now, using just 3648 in inventories is most appropriate, with a note in
the notes column about which version is in the set.  But maybe the Peeron
admins have a different insight on that.

In general, I do what Steve tells me to do :) I do agree that everything
should be the "generic" number unless it's specifically known to be a
certain revision. I believe that's how things are on peeron now
- the only thing that has x187 is from '78, and I'll believe that it
actually does have that specific revision. Of course, it'd be nice if
peeron showed all revisions of the same part - maybe someday.

Note: My apologies if this crossposting is bad form or if this post really
belongs in a different forum (I'm still a bit of a newbie).

Eh, it's alright--this topic cuts across the groups.  I would have (and I
did) set a 'Follow-upTo', to direct replies to one group.

well, since the email interface doesn't give me a hint what the
follow-up was set to (when reply-to is set to poster, as it should
be), and Steve didn't mention it in his note, I just do what I think
is right :)

Thanks all. For now, I guess I will use just 3648 and indicate the appropriate version in the notes column. Hmm...maybe I need to add "learn how to create LDraw parts" to my ever-growing LEGO ToDo List (although I somehow suspect that 3648 might not (...)
