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)

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)
