Hello.  I am brand new to trains.  after seeing the Santa Fe Super Chief in
the latest S@H catalog I couldn't put off buying LEGO trains any longer.

yesterday a Super Chief, A green engine w/tender and 2 green passenger cars
arrived I built all 4 as soon as I got home.

but I noticed something with the Super Chief the instructions showed the lt
grey lightsaber blades and red umbrella pole grips
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/kyodai/trains/trainjpg.jpg as they are
shown in this picture but I got dark gray ones.  at first I thought it was
normal but looking on brickshelf it looks like people who have posted pics
of the S.C. have red and light gray ones.

Did anyone else get dark grey ones instead? did I just miss the correct
colored ones in my box?  My registration # was 3129 (or was that 2931, doh)
I wonder if anyone with similar number has the same difference.

Check your shipment packaging carefully before you discard it. The separate
package referred to (in many posts prior to yours, but this group is quite
overwhelming to read lately, so you may not have taken the time to browse
before posting) which contains the "as shown" colors for the parts used as
handrails is quite small and easy to lose track of.

Speculation: LEGO(r) at some point may well stop including this pack as
there is verbiage on the invoice that "not all parts may be exactly as
shown" which is boilerplate for "we are not fixing this"... Who knows?
