(...) What parts exactly does it contain? And what is unique about them? From J. Lauher's 396 scan it looks like the std. red "counterweight"/hub mount, the yellow stick, and the black piece that the "piston" runs in - or are these larger than (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yes, those 2 (each) red, yellow and black pieces are the ones I'm talking about. No they aren't labelled as unique in any catalog. I was only trying to make a point that if you decided (like I did) to make a Thatcher Perkins from scratch (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

The 396 Thatcher Perkins engine is classed as a "carpet" train as it has a guage which is unsuitable for the standard lego train guage. It was designed to go anywhere the child wanted to push it. Mark H. (...) (25 years ago, 13-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) guage (...) I _do_ have a firm grasp of the obvious :) (though the 396's gauge is narrower than you'd expect from looking at the pictures) - I was asking about the (apparently not) unique rod/piston parts. BTW, where's the panic about the (...) (25 years ago, 13-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
