Hi all, I have missed some of the latest news about the SFSC, and now I have a few doubts... #1 - When did the Limited 10000 copies sold out? #2 - What *exactly* are the different parts? Only the number tag? #3 - Is "27" the default number for the (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.trains)

Yeah! Great work!! I love to see the raw material (raw Lego ;) being put to good use :) My only question is "Is the only difference between engraving and milling the depth of cut?" Another few 10/1000 and you too will have your own window parts. JB (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.trains)

NICE! I gotta wonder, could a slope be "ribbed" to match a corrigated brick? It would make a nice vent for a DB on a locomotive, or on a F40PH! Finnaly can get the vent to make the angle of the roof!? Josh (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.trains)
