Josh, Thanks for pointing these new sets. I really hope these are preliminary shots and not the final sets. The way the end windows match the side windows is really poor. Using the 1x2x2 "airplane" windows results in a gap on the side of the car. (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains)

Ever since the GMLTC became one of the first clubs to build our trains 8-wide, we've run into problems trying to run long trains. Simply, the LEGO magnets aren't strong enough! Try to pull several 8-wide cars around a 180degree corner, and we'd (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
