What makes you conclude the target markets for the Train Shed and the new level crossing are different? Is it the style of the sets? The parts selected? To me it looks like Lego Direct is trying to produce an affordable Train accessory set. Bryan (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The style of the crossing is clearly that of the "World City" line, where as the style of the Engine shed isn't. In recent years it seems that there are two train line stylings; the normal product line (NPL) and LEGO Direct (LD) line. The NPL (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Actually LEGO has offered at least one 4-wide train and that was in 1965, prior to the introduction of the track: set 323. The 1966 trainset 111 (with track) has already 6-wide plates, but the engine is 2-wide with a 4-wide cab ;-) Niels (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains)
