What I understand from your post is that:
a) you want TLC to produce a (decent) American engine (and American waggons)
and
b) you don't have a clue what TLC's target group is.
For what I have understood (from some of the speeches by Brad Justus) is
that LEGO is a kids toy and produced for kids, with kids in mind. The fact
that there is a (large?) group of adults who "play" with LEGO is nice for
the extra sales. He (mister Justus) also made clear that LEGO sets should be
an inspiration to go and build more yourself. Shure, some sets are not to
play with (some Model Team stuff and that huge grey Star Wars thing) but
most are made for inspiration.
I know, it hurts when my 6 year old son destroys a complete trainset to
build his own, but that is where LEGO is for and why LEGO is LEGO. Thank God
I don't own a Fleischmann!
Be inspired by others; there are loads of good (American) models out there
and for some you can even find complete instructions.
Play well, be inspired and inspire others. And well, who knows what the new
sets will look like!

| Hey, I know that TLC produced a new train late last year or early this year but I think that it is time for TLC to make a new train car or a couple new ones. Perhaps a gondola would be nice to have. A gondola like this one. Perhaps in this color or (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains)
