(...) OK everbody, we can make some serious money here by refusing to sell these last vital items to Ben; 1. We all demand a price about 2,500% higher than the market price. 2. If he is keen to complete his collection, he will buy the items. 3. The (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

Also not to nitpick, but the part that's available in the 5978 is the 6x6 dual-low-slope roofcap, not the 6x6 multi-sloped roof cap--there's a difference! Both are much sought after by us trainheads, though (well, at least those of us who haven't (...) (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The point was not so much that the part has never been available in grey before, but that it is now available to mere mortals in grey, which is a good thing independant of whether it has already existed. (24 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) In the picture stated above, the top part of the MF is on the upper right of the picture. Look at the two open "hatches." I think those are grey train roof pieces, like the black ones in 4558 and 4559! Bryan (24 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)
