(...) If these come falling out of the sky, I might be interested in some also. On the other hand, that's a great parts set (I have one of these in a pile of LEGO sets I got from a kid entering his dark ages). (25 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)

Recently I built the 2556 Shell Ferrari. It is truly a great model, particularly so cosidering all those curves in the real car it models after. (See (URL), in particular (URL).) In comparison, 5540, the previous Model Team racer, looks boxy. My (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)

If someone has the stickers for the 5540 and would like to sell, please contact me. But it would be great also if someone who has these would be so kind to send me a scanned picture of the stickers. Thanks marco (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)

(...) The age ranges on _individual_ LEGO System sets vary a lot in the Norwegian LEGO catalogue. Typically from 5+ to 8+ depending on the size and complexity. This applies to Technic as well (with other age brackets, obviously). For a reference, (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)

This is interesting: 1989 - 1993 catalogs show the age range as 9 and up. 1994 - 1996 catalogs show the age range as 9 - 16. 1999 S&H catalog shows the age range as 9+ I don't have any other catalogs :-))) The box for 5571 shows the age range as (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)

Steam locomotive would be cool. But not in minifig scale !!! In minifig scale we have Trains series. Models in Model Team must be bigger. With much more details like classic Trains. But not only trains would be cool. Also ships. What about Titanic ? (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)

The Chopper is a too big, but not ridiculous looking with minifigs in it. It only looks silly next to some of the other minifig choppers they have, which are way too small for the role they play. (Police choppers and med choppers are much larger (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)

Well yes, a true minifig-scale train would be a nice size, but could it still be compatible with other Lego trains? Which existing Model Team sets do you feel are compatible with minifig scale?

I actually am looking at the same thing. Not all Model Team sets are incompatible with mini-fig scale. Most are larger than that, just due to the fact that they are big sets. Imagine how much larger a Locomotive is when compared to a semi truck. To (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)

I think you're talking two different thing here (though both would be exceedingly cool.) A Model Team loco would be about as compatible with normal Lego trains as other Model Team sets are with minifs, i.e. not at all. If I ever get around to (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)
