Hi all,
I recieved the 10022s today and build them (3 of them) right when I was back
home from work. I would like to congratulate Lego on asking James Mathis to
design them and congratulate James for doing such a fine job.
My complete train (2 Super Chiefs, 2 x 10025 and 3 x 10022) measures almost
2 metres long and is quite heavy, so I hope one motor will be able to give a
enough speed! The wagons are very close together which looks great and they
have a lot of details, especially the 10022. The Diner Wagon has a little
bar, the Passenger Wagon (or actually the Sleeping Wagon) seats AND beds and
the Observation Wagon is pretty cool too.
After building them all you have a lot of spare parts (expect a lot of grey
doors on Bricklink soon!).
Minor points? Lego were in a hurry to ship them; the building booklets
contain errors, different tyopgraphy (sorry, I'm a graphic designer, I
notice such things), on one booklet it says 10022_1 (underscore) and the
other two have a normal dash (10022-2 and 10022-3).
There is a strange lithography error in the 10022-2 booklet.
The instructions of the 10022 are "easier" and more obvious than the
instructions of the 10025. For example: With the 10025 you build both sides
at the same time and the interior after that and with the 10022 you build
one side, interior and then the other side (you'll notice when you build it).
There are some consesions made to keep the cost down, but one extra 2 x 6
plate wouldn't have made a great difference?
On model 2 and 3 of the 10022 there are "holes" on the short sides if you
build it following the book but can be avoided by using 2 x 2 corner plates
(of which you get a lot).
Minifigs? Maybe a special Santa Fe minifig set with personnel and travellers?
But hey! these are just minor things, the models themself are really great.
Again, I am very happy with them (and my son too!). Thank you Lego and thank
you James.

PS will the next train be a European train again? I heard mister Mathis has
a great orange TGV design somewhere :-)

| (...) I got my set of 5 waggons on friday (for the 5-waggons-discount-price). I built them over the weekend and I am really happy with design and quality of the bricks. I was amazed about the metallic corrugated bricks: they look quite similar in (...) (22 years ago, 9-Sep-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)
