There was much discussion between myself and those sitting around me about
the possible changes made to the metroliner.  The important debate centered
around wether Brad had said there were "minor detail" or "minor decal"
changes.  It was never confirmed either way what was actually said
unfortunately.

Fortunately though, Chris Leach actually had his metroliner instruction book
on hand.  We went through it and did not find any pieces that stood out as
being out of production.

Does this include the black electric pick-up on the roof?

This incorrectly named and spelled piece ("Train catenary holder" but I
can't remember the exact incorrect spelling used)

Strange name in my view as I see it as a electrical conductor rather than a
holder on anything? The "Catenary" does make sense however -  It is the
shape of a curve which hanging cables form - well at least it is the shape
of suspension bridge cables (often confused with the plain old parabola).

Scott A

was in production for ResQ
sets (where it is used as a light bar) so that means as recently as 1999, or
maybe even 2000, right?

That's probably not the hardest one to resurface although offhand I can't
think of which one would be.

The wire that this part contacts (in real life) is indeed catenary, but the proper name for the part, were it named functionally, (and that's a debating point in and of itself) is "pantograph shoe" because that's what its real counterpart is (...)
