Hello folks, I remember having seen a Train or Loc using some 'round windows'. I guess the window came from the AQUA set (# ????) with a yellow submarine, but I can't find the reference. Would anyone knowing this previous posting or anyone who have (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

I've bought another 3737 train wagon plate. Ploblem is, the plate is so warped that I can't use it. I thought of returning this to LEGO S&H, but decided to keep it for the bogies (trucks) anyway. This has happened to me once before, does LEGO know (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
