 | | Help Open 12v switch track motor- doesn't switch
|

Technic set 8856 Whirlwind Rescue contains(ed) the 6x6 multi-slope roof cap. Until seeing the two in the Mil. Falcon, I had sought 8856 for that single piece. Failing to find the 8856 set, I look forward to getting a Falcon for these pieces alone. (...) (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)
