John and Robin have some really good points. Allow me to side in with my opinion. In some cases it is frustrating that LEGO doesn't sell the extended train product line through retailers. But for that to be effective, it would require knowledgable (...) (25 years ago, 27-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.trains)

I notice that on the 6x28 wagon plates, some have 12 holes and others have 6 holes. I believe the older sets had 12 holes while the newer ones had 6. Is this true? Was there any reason for the change? Thanks (25 years ago, 27-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
