(...) In fact, it appears in several non-train sets: 6433, 6435 and 6453. I would say that claiming that it is designed for the train line is a bit controversial. But then again, I don't have the insight in the TLG design process that others may (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)
