Ditto, and least we not forget to slap on a few train doors(Model Team to the rescue?). At long last, I'll build my own 7725 without having to step into a time machine. Blue would be nice too but 7760 used a different window style didn't it? Adrian (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

Well, isn't that a nice surprise! Of course now you have me wanting blue yellow and green, and the glass to go with them, and the narrow windows and stuff, but I guess that bus will be along later. (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

The Castle pictures also look slightly color distorted. The arches on the right side actually look blue (1x6 and 2x6), but the side away from the viewer looks grey. Hmmm. Colored lights do make it difficult to tell. Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

(...) Looking at the Direct catalog, it appears the back window is definately a Train window. The glass appears to be plain glass. Well, some glass is better than no glass. Too bad, we might have to wait till May 1 to get them. :( -Chris (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
