Thanks for that detailed analysis and for posting the shots that got us all
excited.
So does anyone have a good handle on exactly what Maersk sets there actually
have been over the years?... So far in this thread (and in the DB) we have:
1650 - 1974 : microfig scale(1) container ship
1651 - 1980 : stub tractor, short/long 6 wide containers (train rail mount)
1552 - 1985 : long tractor, short/long 6 wide containers ("switcher(2) mount)
1831 - 199x : white 4 wide containers, standard mounts (12 long containers,
non standard except for color line, other LEGO 4 wide containers tend to be
8 or 16)
Did I miss any? (I forget what year 1831 is, I am separated from my copies
at the moment and can't check)
Any Maersk airplanes ever? (they run a small airline, it calls at Gatwick I
think.)
Anyone "Maersk complete" ??

1 - well smaller than minifig anyway, IMHO, it has 3 wide containers (3) and
looks like it is built on the floating boat hulls.
2 - "switcher" is what I heard a LEGO designer call the modified plate 1x2
with one stud... :-) He said it was because it switches the position of
studs if you use it.
3 - take THAT, J2...

| (...) 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)

| (...) 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.
