(...) I think most people agree these are clearly precursors to LC, so I would go with yes. Another question along the same line... do you have to buy Lego LOCO to be 9V complete? It comes with a small (non powered) handcar set. This set is clearly (...) (26 years ago, 6-Nov-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Those two guys responsible for the last two 9V Train sets I needed to be complete. My 4564 arrived Monday, and I just picked up my 4547 Club Car from the PO this afternoon. Much thanks to Terry and Ali, I wasn't sure I'd ever locate (or afford) (...) (26 years ago, 4-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains)
