(...) The wagon plate is supposedly warped. I didn't buy any of these, wagon plates are for wimps who can't build proper subframes for themselves, so I can't say, but I digress. That is, if you set it down on a flat, true surface, one corner sits (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)
