 | | NEW LEGO Train Set for 2009?
|
|
Anyone know about this new train? I think I saw a constructed model recently on-line, but I was under the impression this was a MOC and not a new LEGO issued train set. It looks like the set is R/C and not a 9V. Is this the new and improved hybrid (...) (16 years ago, 15-Feb-09, to lugnet.trains)
