I came up with a nice simple way to make a train nose. I was playing around with some small 2x2 ramp parts and came up with this design. (URL) looks more like the nose of a tram, but I am sure you all will think of many uses for it. So take a look (...) (23 years ago, 1-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 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)

(...) plate. (...) My theroy is that nobody at LEGO really thought about this and you guys are obsessing on minutia (:-)). Perhaps this thread should be moved to off-topic.geek (23 years ago, 1-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Indeed, a note on the box saying "the colour of same parts may vary" will do little for their sales. What worries me is that this is the second set this has happened with inside a year - ultimately the costs of these errors are paid by us. One (...)

Maybe the 10,000th 10020 SF Engine won't come with a small red 2X1 tile with the production number on it, but with A. A larger Tile, possibly a 4X1 smooth tile with the LEGO logo on it and the production number next to it (both on the same tile) B. (...) (23 years ago, 1-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

Hmmm...although I'm not much for trains, these are very interesting designs. Maybe I could try building a design similar to this for my space hover train (which is still under construction). Anyway, I like the designs. However, I would make my (...) (23 years ago, 1-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Indeed. Excellent question and one I would suggest is best dealt with elsewhere except I have no idea of the best group to suggest. Perhaps lego.direct? I leave it to someone else to set followups. Now, my 2 cents on that question. I think it (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.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)

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 (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
