I don't know if anyone else has spotted this yet - maybe you all have, and
no-one's bothered to mention it, or maybe no-one's taken their MOT apart yet...
I thought that the base plate of the new long trains looked like a different
moulding - the underside has a 2x4 ridge outlined in the centre, unlike the
older version which just had a large cluster of rings.
But mainly, it's 4 studs shorter than the service pack wagon base - only 24
studs, not 28. (I gather that some of the red wagon plates are even longer,
at 30 studs - can anyone tell me if these are from the current freight &
crane railway (4565), or the old service pack).
I still think it's good value for parts, but then I build mostly shorter
wagons. I just thought I'd point it out, in case anyone is thinking of
buying one for long wagon parts.
So, it did have a new piece in, after all...

| (...) Freight and crane uses three 28 stud reds for the locomotive and both long flat cars, I believe, or so I interpret the instructions. (URL) 24 stud wagon plate appears in blue in 4555. I can't recall off hand if it has the 2x4 ridge you refer (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
