Robin, Yes, 4555 is a great set. The only thing I didn't like was the truck design, so I made it look 100% better (In my humble opinion, anyway!) Have fun building it! Isn't that what Lego sets are all about? :) Scott Sanburn (...) (26 years ago, 5-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Larry! What sacrilege. How could TLG be wrong? If they say it is a caboose, it must be! Just put on your Town Jr. glasses and then make a decision as to what it is. (Just kidding, I know it's a coach) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

It's not a caboose. A caboose has a cupola or a bay window, or at least, a work area for the conductor. It's not a pullman. A pullman has beds, washrooms, a porter's office, etc. It's a coach. It's really pretty simple to remember coach, I think. (...) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)
