I wish to thank everyone for their support and comments. It looks like there is enough interest and encouragement to proceed. Preview of the kits are at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=5608. The prototype pictures do not show the application of the stripe stickers. They also include detail interiors, but no minifigs. However, I'm not encouraged at the pricing. Buying the parts alone, from Brickbay at the average selling price would run around $75-$80. Other 200+ piece kits from artistians would put it in the similar ballpark price of $60-$80. While I have not set prices, these are some guidelines and the fact a 10001 has most of the parts to build two of the cars. Stay tune for announcement of availablity and pricing.

(...) Love the RPO and sleeper car (which looks a lot like 7815 from what I can see... coincidence?) I think about $75 would be a fair price, IF you added some nice instructions. Still don't understand LEGO doesn't do anything like this... they did (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

I was planning to release some custom craftmans kits for the Metroliner. But now with the pending release of the Legend version, I'm not sure it will generate more or less of a demand. Certainly the pricing from what I had in mind will be lower. The (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
