I referred to the following post on 1000.steine:
"von letztgenannten z. B. die sehr starke Andeutung, daß es wohl eine neue
Legende geben wird, die den legendären 7740 als Vorbild hat. Natürlich leicht
modifiziert als 9V-Modell. "
meaning, from last-named (which was Brad), a strong indication that there will
be a new Legend, one that has the classic 7740 as an example. Of course slightly
modified as a 9V model.
Too bad this person probably misinterpreted it...I'd love to get more 7740's.

| (...) hi all, it was me that have asked that question and like larry wrote it perfectley, it was just a question of hope. None promisses or telling that it will be true. Again: it was just a question from me with NO possitive answer on Brad's side. (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)
