(...) Hey, where do you plan on getting all those sliding gray doors, and the black and gray rail pieces? Have I missed something lately? Are those parts easier to come by than I remember? Chris (23 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

I don't understand how re-releasing these sets is bad for anyone. If you're a collector, you'll want the original set with its original box. The Legends packaging is distinctly different from the original packaging. Also, many Lego pieces are (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
