Yes, and they have changed the bricks under the rails too. There is now a
blue 2 x 6 brick at each end instead of the 1 x N pieces, but the old pieces
are still included in the set...
BTW. There is an error in the instructions. It doesn't show where to place
the new spruce tree in any of the images! unlike the old tree:

Or include the pieces necessary in the new set. Can't imagine that this
would mean a much higher price.

My thoughts exactly!
But the pieces should have been there for another reason as well. If you
already attached the Legoland Hotel sticker to the rail, and then build the
crane/rails again, we all know what happens when you move the crane over the
rail with the attached sticker a number of times. The sticker will be
damaged/come loose...
Despite this, I still find this set awesome. One of the best town sets ever.
Period. I'm really happy, that I voted for this. It's a true legend...

| (...) I received my 4 sets yesterday (4, as I got them for the original (wrong) price of 49 DKr (appx. $6)); it feels good to build with many bricks again, but I don't really like the final model that much. One question: why are both cars build with (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.town)
