I think it would have been good to have a model of the ICE, but since it's
not a good copy the colour doesn't bother me. So long as this isn't a set
with track and a speed regulator, I think this is a good way to sell it.
Think about it. It only has one engine and one carriage, so you can buy
another and connect them back-to-back if you want to. The Metroliner had
two engines, which meant that buying another set for additional carriages
left you with a lot of wasted parts.
I wonder how many parts the front is made from though, and if they're going
to be any use in MOCs.

I agree. a shame really. There's already a better hopper available from LD.

It's much better than the drab dark grey we saw before.

Maybe the leak was to test the reactions...?

It's always a shame when a set gets cancelled, but I think this one's had a
good run. Has everyone that wants one got one by now? I guess this is
hinting at the new 4512 being a replacement full set, with at least track if
not motor and power supply. I hope the passenger train one isn't though, so
at least there are alternative price points.

| Thanks for sharing the 2003 pictures. It is good to see the product development. The display are staged (with the set numbers) to show what you get with each set. I wondered if there was any more information say telling you if there is a speed (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains)
