  Re: Single Buffers
 
Simon, These were attached to the 4.5V battery cars. They were used in at least the 7720 & 7722, possibly others: (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Super Chief and it's Numbers
 
(...) I would be real surprised if your receipt will have the engine # on it.So that does you very little in proving you have x number engine. (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Super Chief and it's Numbers
 
(...) If there isn't a "certificate"...then the next <prudent> thing would be to keep your receipt from your shipment. This way here, you have unrefutable evidence that your SuperChief is the REAL DEAL. That is my suggestion.... Benjamin Medinets (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Supplementary parts for 10020?
 
Apparently, after a long conversation with a Consumer Affairs employee, the part numbering system goes a little something like: (and these are ALL assumptions because of tight fisted meeting and emails flying around TLC right now about leakage of (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: transcript is up
 
(...) I really like those portholes--for obvious (shipbuilding) reasons. I do hope the service packs include multiple portholes in grey. From the instruction photos I saw, the thinwalls are indeed pre-printed. (...) I only want some of the (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Buffers
 
I have two separate buffers pieces, each attached to a single 1x2 black plate. Any ideas which set(s) these may have come from? (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) There is a very anoying bug in Acrobat, and it might be the source of your problems. Sometimes, opening a PDF inside Explorer seems to "hang" all the windows. Just minimize every window on your desktop and you will probably see a dialog asking (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Supplementary parts for 10020?
 
(...) Was there a charge incurred with these packs? This item is getting more and more interesting. My best guess (if there is no extra cost) is that the numbered stickers(or printed 1x2 tile, or whatever it ends up being) are packaged seperatly, (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: transcript is up
 
(...) The portholes are 2x2 clear thinwalls that have been printed red or grey. The # tile is printed. The Santa Fe graphics are stickers. (...)

  Re: 10020 at brickswest and what the Sr. VP of lego direct said
 
Price point taken, yes, they would be expensive in the individual packs like 7858 & 7859. Speaking as a former 12V user, there was that nice little add-on called 7863. When I bought my system in 1985 (great year for American Dollar) in Europe, I (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Supplementary parts for 10020?
 
Nope, 46 parts is too many - maybe this is the rumored parts pack for converting it from an A unit to a B unit? (...) -- | Tom Stangl, iPlanet Web Server Technical Support | Sun Microsystems Customer Service | iPlanet Support - (URL) Please do not (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: 10020 limited to 10000 sets or not?
 
(...) I understood it as Mark did. Personally, after 10,000, I rather see a *different* engine run of 10,000 and have the Super Chief go out of production for a while (based on the fact that LD can only have so many different sets in production at (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: transcript is up
 
(...) 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". But I'll stick with my usually. The usual major mechanical difference is (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) They are probably the 2 light gray side bars which fit over the 9 volt train motor. So when you decide to power your Super Chief, the wheels will match the already light gray wheels that come in the set. -John (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Supplementary parts for 10020?
 
Hi all, I placed an orer Friday for 2 Santa Fe Super Chiefs, along with the Deluxe Metro Liner Kit. I received the Metro-Liner today, and on the invoice it stated that the 2 Super Chiefs were on backorder, but it also stated that there were 2 (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 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: 10020 at brickswest and what the Sr. VP of lego direct said
 
(...) Sad, but i'm working on a kit to do so. If you still see Mr.Brad Justus, can you ask him when we will get our bulk discount in Europe too? I mailed Shop At Home Europe, and they replied with the message that there aren't plans to do it. I, and (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
