I am just going from my price list/catalog release dates. Sometimes the 'big guys' can get things around the same time as shop@home, but the smaller dealers for sure won't see it till July, same as the Falcon, and quite a few other sets as well. HP (...)

(...) Why would TLC put it out in the Magazine and Catalogue with the other "Rescue" Sets (back in Nov.) if it gunning for a July '04 Release? I heard from a freind he saw the set two weeks ago at one particular TRU, but when I went there last week (...) (21 years ago, 22-Apr-04, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.town)

Very slick solution. It also has the advantage of being 6 wide. I (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)

Dealers are not getting the 7046 till July, so it's a semi shop@home exclusive for a few months of preview. A very common thing these days. Same with Falcon, new falcon probably won't hit shelves till July retail wise, but shop@home has it already (21 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.loc.ca, lugnet.town)

(...) It actually pumps the water. A large part of the design problem was getting the system to pump an amount of water that wasn't too much and wasn't too little. I'd have to say that the final result was a triumph of trial and error:-) JOHN (21 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.technic, FTX)

Hello, Please bear with me.....I think this is a neat story.... A while ago I decided to build a 1950's style diner.
