       (...) Welcome back! Do you have a place to sleep again? (...) Trailers and containers seem the same, tractor is cabover instead of conventional... yes, very similar. (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

       Hello! (...) Note the light blue railway tracks on the trailer of 1651. The 1552 has lightblue tiles instead of the tracks. Bye Jojo (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

      (...) The 1651 from 1980 has different trailers and a very different tractor: The trailers have 6 light blue train rails where the cargo lies on, which has two lines of flat 1xNx0.33 bricks underneath to stay upon these rails.

      (...) I do not know any further sets, bat that's no proof :-) 1831 was released in 1995. If you follow the chronology of the sets, there might have been another in the year 1990 maybe...(?) Getting "Maersk-complete" might be very difficult. Jan (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.promo)
