I scanned the transcript of the session with Brad Justus and remember
reading that 1 through 5 were set aside. I didn't see anything about them
being auctioned on eBay. Did I just miss that comment? For some reason, I
was under the impression that LEGO was going to give them away as prizes,
rewards, etc.
I need to go back and read the transcript again.
Does anyone have any further detail regarding the first 5 trains?

| I remember it as LEGO was going to auction them - probably on eBay - and donate the procedes to charity, the same way they did with the giant minifigs, behind-the-scenes LEGOLAND tour, former display model and whatever else that I can't remember (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
