Well I got 3605, 3915 and one which I doubt I'll open for a while. Neither
of my opened 10020 numbers refers to a set or even a part... YET! But, using
google, I did find a real train numbered 3605:

Better than a Fabuland Service Station any day!
The set and the parts look great, but it is a pity there are so many
stickers(1) - esp the ones on the roof fans.
Lastly, I was not surprised to note that both my red bases were warped/bent.
Other than that, I'm happy!

PS: Remember, if #6 were a train he'd have said "I'M NOT A NUMBER! I'M A
FREE TRAIN!!!!"... but just not free enough to leave the rails as that was
before BR went private. ;)
(1) I'm no fan of stickers, and I wish lego would supply a few sheets per
set where they must use them. I'd pay the extra 5p it'd cost them to do that.
