Indeed. like this:

But their previous sets got it wrong too, I think... consider the car in 4565.

True. However LD is showing that they can expand their line nicely. Just as
we hoped they would. I'll settle for that, as long as LD makes their
numbers, we will get more.
Although I think these are a bit cuter than I prefer I will be buying
multiple copies of all of them, partly to keep my 9V line complete, and
partly because they have great parts at good (relative to other sets) price
points.
Color me excited.
