OK, I know that the legendary "Hobby Sets" of the mid-to-late 1970's are the
#390 (1913 Cadillac), #391 (1926 Renault), #392 (Formula 1 Racer), #393 (Norton

#396 (Thatcher Perkins Locomotive).....

designation in Lugnet, Peeron or Bricklink? I mean it has the numbering
sequence, and yes it came out in 1978, a little later than the others, but it

Also, since many of us consider those 1970's Hobby Sets to arguably be the best
models EVER that TLG has come out with.... have you ever wondered at what #397
must have been? It wasn't produced, but there may have been a prototype for
it.... it would make for a neat building contest.... coming up with a #397....
another Locomotive in the spirit of #396?..... or another antique car in the
spirit of #390, #391 and #395?....
Just wondering.....
