I like the idea of a letter writing campaign. (Gee, I wonder if
Susan Williams has an email address? ;-)
I also think Larry P. makes a good couple of points: keep the kit(s)
small and 'focused'; Have a mix of colors in the kit(s). I like the
ideas, since I also think that they will improve our chances of LEGO
making up such kits. (And, after all, we know how to share and trade
with each other to get what we want. ;-) If we can get them to make
up a kit or two, hopefully we can purchase enough of the kits to get
them interested in a couple of other train-related kits in the future.
Larry suggested the following;
> 1 pair doors
> 8 1x4x3 windows
> 2 1x2x3 windows
> 4 1x2x2 airpliane widnows
>
> Things NOT to include.
> slope fronts
> Bottom nose pieces
> roof pieces
This sounds right to me also. This is probabyly a $3.50 kit.

I'd like to see this second kit as well. It fills the gap left by
discontinuing the Metroliner, and would provide a way for those among
us who find "Train Jr." models distasteful to find enough parts to
build our own lines (or expand the lines that we have!). :-)
> Oh, and ask them to revive 5073 (??) which is the boxcar door pack.
I don't know that pack. But I think there's also a bunch of us who
would love to see a boxcar door kit, whether it's the older, wide
single door, or the newer two-door style on the 4564 freight train.

| If we convince them, and that is a BIG if, we will get at best ONE pack. Asking for multiple packs in different colors is a non starter, in my opinion. Given that, I would ask that the pack have doors AND windows in a number of different colors. The (...) (25 years ago, 24-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
