Larry,
I agree with you that we should drop the nose section, but as for color, you
really missed out on an obvious one - GRAY! How else are we to recreate the
metroliner? Besides, I need enough AMTRACK cars to simulate real wrecks and
derailments. I already have enough dismembered minifigs. :-)
I would definitely say clear for the train glass, but would probably go for
transparent light blue for the airplane glass.
I do not think that they will do 5 or 6 colors in one pack, although I would
actually like that. I would even like green windows!! Of course, that would
leave us with no hopes of a second color pack. It would also make only 1
color of door available. (Choose wisely!)
I do know that they finally did come out with roof bricks in a second color,
so 2 packs is (eventually) possible in train parts.
I would pick my colors in the following order:
1 - Gray
2 - Black
3 - White (mainly for town use)
4 - Red
The other colors just don't do it for me right now. I know I would buy a ton
of gray and black.

This is from the club car. Since I will buy a ton of windows and only really
want about 4 club cars, perhaps I could dilute it to 2 windows.

| Mike is right, in his twisted sort of way;-) Gray is an obvious choice. But hey, let's dream a little-- how about silver??!! Silver doors and windows! Now that's entertainment! 'Course, they'd have to release silver bricks, too, but how many of us (...) (27 years ago, 24-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
