| I've gotten my first copy of 4512, and are reasonably impressed with it. As others have noted, the box showes 1/2 straights, but the set doesn't include them :(. The loco isn't too bad (fairly close to that of 4564, but not the same). New snowplow (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

| Nice quickie review, James. I know it makes me look forward to getting it. It is a bummer somewhat about the "click-hingification" of those parts you mentioned. A question though; does the red hopper-ish car have a rotating center? It looks like a (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)
