I seems like only yesterday that I posted
THIS.
Now the license has come to an end. I just wanted to say that it was a great
run, and to Brad Justus, wherever you are, I offer a toast to your name: Salute!

While parting out a 5481, I noticed that the lime green hat on the child fig (BL
calls it a 47205pb002) rotates. Is this typical for a Duplo fig ?

We own about 300 of the Mega-scale Mega Bloks, which my 4-year-old enjoys,
particularly when they can be used to build structures for his Matchbox cars,
etc.
Anyway, here’s a garage that we built and which I rendered in LDraw:
It’s larger than Matchbox-scale, of course, and it probably accomodates around
20 or 30 vehicles, but who doesn’t have that many cars in real life?
That’s a smokestack on top, by the way. A necessity for any garage IMO. As are
the steps leading to the roof.

I never saw any pics of these online, and I never got around to posting any
myself, but better late than never, so
here they are.
I will always have fond memories of a handful of us trainheads driving around
one July night in Detroit while showing at the ILTCO national convention, trying
to find these in stores (they had just been delivered to stores). We never
found any, but we had a good time looking! :D
The new trains sets are Gordon (plus a coach), Salty, and Spencer.
For those who are counting, that makes 10 LEGO Thomas train characters:
- Thomas
- Percy
- James
- Toby (discontinued?)
- Harold
- Cranky
- Troublesome truck
- Salty
- Gordon
- Spencer
Peep, peep!

Hi
I have just found the box for Duplo 514 circa 1972, but I can’t work out
what bits go in it. (The set is my husbands and he can’t remember).
The pieces I have found do not fit well in the packaging and there is plenty
of room for more.
Does anyone have a list of what pieces should be in this kit?
Many thanks
Linda

Here’s what I’ve been able to piece together from the
1972 catalog:
Duplo Brick
2 x 6 x 2 with Curved Center
2 red
2 yellow
1 blue
Duplo Brick 2 x 4
2 red
2 yellow
3 blue
Brick 2 x 2
1 red
2 yellow
3 blue
The set entry on
Peeron entry shows a piece count of 17, but looking
at the model on the box and in the pieces in the window, I say there are at
least 18 pieces; the plastic window clearly shows a second, yellow 2 x 6 x 2
with Curved Center. I’m curious if there is an actual part number on the
bottom of those curved pieces. Any chance you could take a flashlight an
look?
If you do get an proper inventory, please post here it or submit it to Peeron
so everybody can benefit.

Thanks Jack
There are indeed 2 yellow 2 x 6 x 2 with Curved Centre pieces. I have looked
carefully at the base of the pieces and each has Pat pending, and has either
nothing else, or a different number i.e. one of the yellows has 03 3 and the
other has 03 1. I can give you all the others if you want.
I think that there are at least 18 pieces, but there is a second box of pieces
at the rear of the outer box which is for the 2 x 4s and the 2 x 2s and there’s
so much more room for other pieces I am sure (unless there was a lot of
packaging), that there should be at least another 10 pieces.
Thanks for helping
Regards
L
