(...) Thanks Tim! That's one of those sets that I've seen on the shelf, and even picked up to glance at, but I never noticed the barrels. I even think this one might have been in the Wal-Mart clearance aisle the last time I was there. Guess it's (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) They are a lighter blue than the Scala accessories. Scala colors are all off, and almost never seen in system sets (I haven't looked at colors in 4721, 4722, and 4723 to see if any of the oranges match Scala colors). They are the same light (...) (23 years ago, 2-Feb-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) To make a gondola from the chair pieces, I just "bolted" them onto a frame built between two wheel sets. I didn't put any cross members, though I probably should have, and those could easily be 6 wide. (...) would be what to do for an end (...) (23 years ago, 3-Feb-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) I happened to have a 4721 and a 3115 both sitting here, so I did some comparisons. The scala 3115 has two oranges: a lighter orange (used on the round table top halves p/n 33088) and a medium orange (used in the big cabinet pieces p/n 6874). (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-02, to lugnet.general)
