Hmmm... I don't know if you'd be interested, but I've been holding onto a couple of those sets (6493). They're MISB with a little shelf wear. I picked them up in the hopes of one day doing exactly what you plan to, but since the likeliness of me (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

While experimenting with the red container grabber as used in 4555 I noticed that the holes for the black rubber are the same size as a stud. I have now modified one so that it has grab arms that can lift and load my grey piggyback trailers onto the (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.books, lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

What a concept...4561 for $70 including shipping and tax... think the WB store might be a regular haunt if they practice this kind of business. COME ON EVERYBODY LET'S DO THE HAPPY DANCE!!! (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I found the 4561 at Toys 'R' US In december for $130 CDN. Now I thought THAT was a deal. No shipping. Picked up two of them... Being in Canada really causes problems getting deals... Dean (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Speaking of Time Suckers, does anyone have a couple of the grey train noses out of 6493 Flying Time Vessel they'd want to trade/sell? I have them on my Wants page at (URL) that I FINALLY own a 4558, I want to put grey noses on it (NO, I need to keep (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

How useful, as far as "train" parts go? I think the only thing useful in the whole lot for "train" is the log wall pieces as lumber cargo for a flatbed car. Other than that, who knows. Rich Have Fun! C-Ya! Legoman34 ***** Legoman34 (Richard W. (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Hello! I'm an AFOL who's waiting on his first LEGO train set to show up in the mail this week. I noticed that S@H has 6497 on special this week and I was wondering how useful it is for parts. Is there anything useful in this set? Thanks! Fred. (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

I thought of that. It would be difficult to find someone willing to put such a large amount on their credit card, though. (at least, I wouldn't do it) Plus they'd have to be living in my area; otherwise, I'd be paying for shipping twice. :) -- Paul (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Suggestion - get a CDN Consortium together. Check the shipping costs on TEN 4561s, hopefully it won't be too much higher than the $35. If not, get some other Canucks together to amortize the shipping cost. That would probably be cheaper than having (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
