Not true. 3737 comes with a 6x28 wagon plate and 10013, 10015, 10016,
10018, and 3741 (the base kit for the large MyOT) all come with a 6x24 wagon
plate. As for buying 10013 for $16.99 or 10015, 10016, 10017, or 3741 for
$19.99 (yes, you can buy 3741 separately), I think any of the latter are a
better deal - for an additional $3 you get a lot more parts. 10013 has the
weakest part selection the lot, 10015 or 10017 are the best IMHO.

| (...) Doh! Your right. I even used them for Box cars and didn't realize the others were smaller. Thanks for the correction. I have LEGO on my face. Dean (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
