Now that the pictures can be seen, one can notice a difference between the
small engine with tender and the small engine without tender.  If you
notice, the small engine without tender does NOT have the numer 317 on the
side.  Instead of the 317 number it has the traditional lego train emblem.
The engines look great!

They look great indeed, I like the small ones with tender.
I am though disapointed that there are no special train parts like doors or
windows, which would make them great sets for parts.

They also added the electric set, so - please give us something more like
coaches!

Well they do have the small black "train" windows on the cab (kind of hard
to see in the pictures) so there are some "special" pieces...but of course
they don't have the glass in the windows.

That's the most interesting question in the whole discussion: is there a
classic window in 2x2 (that would be great!!)? Or is it a airplane window (the
window area looks to big for that..)?

The pictures are modified, so you cannot guess if there is a glass inside or
not. The background looks a little darker through the windows, which could be a
hint for glass...

In general the pictures look quite good and the prices very fair. TLC has
heared our wishes at last as it seems now....

Leg Godt!

I don't know if they modified the design since the the S@H catalogs came
out, but you can see the window(s) very clearly in this picture:

I guess some would call them "airplane" windows, but to me all windows are
"train" windows :)

It would be nice if they added glass to the design, but from what I've seen
there is no glass.
