   (...) by (...) 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 (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)

         Re: 1999 Trains —Matthew Bates
      (...) Whoops! You appear to be correct, I assumed it was from some space/underwater theme. I see that it does appear in 6453 a new Spaceport set but not any others. I guess the blue 6 wide sloped nose piece below the canopy is also new (I can't see (...) (26 years ago, 8-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)

   (...) The 2x2 plate toward the top of the signal is actually a hinged piece (parts# 2429 & 2430). It looks like one 1x2 side is attached below the 1x2 trans red piece. The other side of the 2x2 probably swings up (to make a 1x4 piece) covering the (...) (26 years ago, 8-Dec-98, to lugnet.trains)
