   Hello Gerhard R. Istok,

Your cross reference list is very neat, though I hoave to report a set that’s still missing here: #1592

In my knowlege, there are at least two versions of this set:
  • a UK version containing a sticker sheet with the Britain flag, see http://www.hccamsterdam.nl/brickfactory/stikkers/index.htm and scroll down towards: Number 1592

  • a Dutch version, containing a sticker sheet with the Netherlands flag, as one can see applied to the “Straight LEGO Flag”-part depicted on the LUGNET set picture.
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Thanks Manfred!

Unfortunately the LEGO CD Chapter 12 - Promotional Sets only went to 1982. This set is a 1983 set in the Netherlands, but now that I look at my notes, it was a 1980 set in Britain, and should have been included.

By the way the #15xx and #16xx sets were promotional sets for companies. Does anyone know what the #1589 was a promotional set for? Or was this just (as someone had mentioned in the Lugnet notes) just the European equivalent to the USA #6390 Main Street set that was only sold in UK and the Netherlands?

Thanks for the update!

Gary Istok
