deciding what sets get released in the future.  Like I said, I'd definitely
support any movement to get lego to release a western-themed trainset (even
stormtroopers for that matter), but I want to see more of a commitmenttowards
making it happen from my fellow Lego users.

I saw a picture on a site of a brilliant western display made by TLG, with a
western train, that looks just perfect (the engine does anyway). It would probobly
sell like hotcakes with train fals, who want better trains and also with WW fans,
who want a western style train.

I'm not a LEGO Train buff, but I can certainly appreciate the old western style
trains.  That is because my all time favorite LEGO model set is #396 Thatcher Perkins
(1863) locomotive.  It is built to a larger scale than the normal LEGO trains.  It has
the feel and look of an old time western train.  I have this set, and even built a
coal tender and 1800's passenger car to the same scale (but using the 2x2 smaller red
spoked wheels).

(...) I noticed that 396 has yellow macaroni bricks...those have to be extremely rare, no? (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.western, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)
