Hi everybody, please read the message below

I rarely watch this group

But i am amazed by the pictures, but the following things puzzle me

1. Since when those DB stickers come back? I thought they belong to the 12V
not to 9V

2. Look at 4450 Right at the top right corner appears to be a part of the
wall showning, and the pictures don't look like the way lego does theirs?

3. Look at 4424, the Station map there, that came from the Police Van
released in 1986

4. Look at 4468 Looks like at Old 9V Technic motor same for 4438 and 4439,
the old motor was discountued a few years ago.

5. 4465 Looks Odd?, why do Lego want to start making little pieces of track?

6. 4479 There is too much shadow, it's not well done.

THIS IS A HOAX

Wow!

For anyone who does not read lugnet.trains, and is wondering what this is
all
about (like I was) try here for the original link that apparently started
this thread:

My God, these are some of the most beautiful Lego sets I've ever laid eyes
on.  They are simply breath-taking.  I've never been interested in Lego
trains,
but I think that is going to change very soon.

Nice Job Lego!  Let's hope that these are a sign that Lego has seen the
light,
and that this new "Seniorization" (the antonym of Juniorization) will
propagate to other themes (ahem, _town_, cough, cough :).

That grey steamer is going to be a gold mine of dark grey parts.

1 - which begs a question, why 44xx? Are we completely out of 45xx • slots?
But
if they're using 44xx now, that may imply that they want to be able to • issue
lots more sets over the years.

Is 44xx a basically unused area? Pause doesn't give an easy way to do • blocks of

Coming Soon: The Sanburn Systems Company

Do tell (in .geek perhaps?)

Awe man, good call! Yep, forget it. It is a hoax (April fools joke, as someone pointed out). And it's probably one of the best I've seen. The telltale sign for me is that you can see the around the edges of the text and models, where the images were (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) Learn how to cross post, please. I refuted your points, point by point, in .trains. Because I forgot that you can't seem to be bothered to cross post, I didn't cross post my refutation. (URL) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
