see the original images by clicking on the slide show images.  In the case

Oh, man!  Thanks!  I hadn't realized this.  Now I have a question for
everyone. Sorry if I've missed this in another message thread...

What is the black piece beneath the buffer on the front of the 4512 freight

buffers either side of the magnet look, to me, a little more "squarish".
But, maybe that is just a "trick" of glare or something in the picture?

Love these big images!  Thanks.

later,

Wow, I think your right! And I think their at both ends of the loco? The buffers do look square, look at the same image, way down at the bottom... the image of the roof popping off the loco, I think it has square buffers! It looks to be a new train (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
  Q: 4512 and 4511 (was: Re: Box Art for 2003 LEGO Train Products!)
 
Something that I just noticed is that the 4512 locomotive truly looks like it resembles set 4564's engine. Is this the same engine only different colors and a different removable top? And, 4511 has some strange lights on the front of the engine. The (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
