If it wasn't for this piece, I'd still be worried, I don't see a single new
piece in the other two sets.
As for the cherry picker, anyone know what that signal is supposed to be? I've
never seen one like that. And what is that little black bit sticking up above
the black 2x2 plate near the top?
Now I'm wondering if there is anything better to hope for in the 1999 European

at the moment... I don't hold out too much hope though, Lego seems to be
moving Trains towards Town Jr, yuck! [1]
