If they use the same piece in other themes as well; so much the better. Point in case is whether you (...) (26 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

| | | | | (...) I agree, I do not think uniqueness is the point, but I also do not think that canopy was designed for trains. It doesn't resemble any trains. After all how many trains have a large glass popup (or not popup) canopy on the engine. That canopy (...) (26 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

Because it is used in other themes the first year of (...) (26 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

Don't get me started on a wishlist of parts that I wish they'd design, I don't have time and (...) (26 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

But then again, I don't have the insight in the TLG design process that others may (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)
