In the small picture on the set, on lugnet, the small wheels that are behind
the powerpuller large wheels are obscured, I think it's got something to do
with image size reduction obscuring small objects. If you can get the large
set image, they are visible, but only just!

My mistake - that was a typo. That should probably have been the 8458, as
you say.
However, I do object to that person saying I was on crack. He really should
retract that remark, I did not think that such a simple mistake as I made
would justify such outrageous and untrue statements as that one. I do not
and have not, ever, smoked any drug, nor do I intend to for as long as I
live! In the wake of the September 11th tragedy, the last thing we need are
people trying to shake other people's feelings up like that.
