Dear Lego, Please stop making such ugly and unrealistic train sets. I know that you are trying to increase the playability of these sets but I don't see why realism has to suffer. 4561 is the worst example, it could have been so much better. Things (...)

(...) I don't think that's it. I think it's more that they want more "futuristic" looking trains. I really can't see that 4559, with some 800 pieces, has been juniorized. It just doesn't look like a real train. (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I am not intending to start another morality flame here, but is the profanity really necessary? I think TLG would be more inclined to listen if you simply asked, "Where's the engine?" rather than "Where's the @%*$ engine?" If you are truly (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I'd hardly call that a profanity... nor 'hell', but that tends to get picked on a lot on American TV shows too. But we're rapidly heading off-topic here - the problem is that Lego trains resemble no kind of (mother-flippin') train that is currently (...) (26 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
