   OK, I’m guessing this was simply an unreleased set, but just to be sure, I figured I’d post an all-too-familiar scan from the good ol’ 1978 LEGO catalog (the Town layout) and ask everyone if they’ve ever seen this COOL-looking Hospital set released anywhere at any time?? Was it designed for the catalog pic but they later decided not to put it on the shelves? FALSE ADVERTISING! ;o)

Dave,
You aren’t the only one who has pondered this one.
See the thread from November 2002
http://news.lugnet.com/inst/?n=123&t=i&v=a
It even goes back as far as March 2000

The world may never know...

In one of these topics there’s a link to a scan of a ‘79 catalog: http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1979/c79us/c79us-11.html

Another thing that got my attention is that the baseplates of the police HQ and the fire HQ are not lined up at the rear, but seem to perfectly line up at the front. Was this ‘town’ not really build, but pictures of individual sets pasted together?
