I've just won a 4563 on eBay (incomplete as usual), and I've been sitting at
my desk through lunch to put it together. I had to follow the instructions
on LUGNET as the seller forgot (hmmm) to send those too, and I hit a
problem:

The shaped cab front in this set (same as the two used in 4551) only has
space for TWO bricks under the windows. The instructions on LUGNET show
space for THREE bricks on both 4563 and 4551. Are my eyes deceiving me, or
are there variations on this brick? If there _are_ variations, does anyone
have scans available of the other version?!?


Both sets which contained this cab part came in two versions. First with the
3-brick-gap, later the 2-brick-gap. I think that was much more stable: kids
feet can be so cruel sometimes....

For both sets (4563 and 4551) there have been updated building instructions,
but I myself have only the older version as to be found at brickshelf also.

I have just uploaded two pictures, which show the differing cab parts:

Kind Regards,

BTW: Huw, if you have the scans at hand (or if it is not too much work), I
would be very pleased to get a copy of the differing steps. Thanks!
