(...) I think LEGO is phasing that model out. I believe this because it has been disappearing from shelves, and now it shows that message you have indicated in shop at home. I would guess the stores had it and maybe still do, if they have stock (...) (16 years ago, 1-Jun-08, to lugnet.general, FTX)

One idea might be to flip the mech arms upside down (so they bend upward) in the middle of the pilot and/or at the (...) (17 years ago, 27-May-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) As with other trains of yours, this one transcends the line between train and work of art. I just think it's great! Models like this one are a clear reminder of why the LEGO Train hobby is so great! (as are BBB wheels) Very nice work! -Jordan (17 years ago, 23-May-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
