        Re: transcript is up —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) THANKS for posting that transcript. Fascinating reading (1) and it must have been a fair bit of work for you to do all that transcribing. Your effort is much appreciated by this reader and, I am sure, many others. 1 - even if some of the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.events.brickswest)

     (...) Cool. The bad news is that "a space legend is not likely anytime soon". Guess thats EVEN MORE of my money going into 2nd hand stuff. Not everyone wants STAR WARS brad :) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

        Re: transcript is up —Ross Crawford
     (...) Thanks for the transcript, Ahui! I have just 2 questions: 1. Will LD be producing any Super Chief cars? 2. What's the big no-no with a Peanuts Licence? ROSCO (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)
    
         Re: transcript is up —Scott Arthur
     (...) I got the impression that a service pack would be offered to convert the "engine" into a car but the transcript talks about b-units (which I assume is a tail engine). I'm not sure why we need a service pack to do that - was it/is it different? (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

         Re: transcript is up —Bryan Kinkel
      Couple of questions and observations... 1. A & B units - I assume a "B" unit is a non-passenger / non-cargo unit that drives behind the main engine? Correct? So on (URL) B unit is the second unit in the first graphic. 2. Has it been determined if (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

           Re: transcript is up —Bryan Kinkel
        If those gray wheels will only be 10020 and not a "Sante Fe Service Pack" then building additional cars will get *very* expensive. If Lego Direct wants to become the 'new Lionel' (see the transcript), I would consider this type of situation a (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

           Stickers and Windows (Was Re: transcript is up) —Ahui Herrera
        The 10020 has both Stickers and Windows. The side circular windows are an actual piece NOT a sticker. The text 'santa fe' on the sides and front are stickers!

           Re: transcript is up —Lindsay Frederick Braun
       (...) I really like those portholes--for obvious (shipbuilding) reasons. I do hope the service packs include multiple portholes in grey.

       (...) The above link says the Super Chief B units also carried a steam generator for heating / air conditioning, and the A units carried extra water for the boiler in the B units. ROSCO (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
      
           Re: transcript is up —Larry Pieniazek
       (...) Thanks for that clarification. I said "usually"... your clarification nicely proves what I've repeatedly said in the past... "in railroading there are ALWAYS exceptions".

          Re: transcript is up —Richard Tysoe
      A b-unit is like a "slave" locomotive. it carries another power unit equal (i think) in output to the A-unit, but doesn't have a cab, it's directly controlled from the A-unit cab. the reason being that it offered a lot more flexiblilty to the (...)

     (...) If a Service Pack does come out I hope it includes the rounded top bricks (either has 2x3 bricks or has the 1x4x2 curved top bricks) in grey as those are hard to come by.
