From the Session with Brad Justus (VP of Lego Direct) at Brickswest2002 it
was stated that Engines 1,2,3,4,5 were taken off the production line was
done and would be auctioned off on ebay. Knowning that I would have to say
NO a A0000 was not produced.
This does lead to a 'numerical problem". A0001 - A9999 are 9999 engines.
The 10,000 engine will it's number fit in the piece? A10000 seems a bit to
big for the lego piece?

| (...) Just another speculative theory: Maybe Brad just meant they took the first 5 ever produced engines out of the production, not the numbers 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005 (which would lead to the problem with the too big number of 10000.) So they (...) (23 years ago, 1-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
