Assuming that the train palette has the same basis as the existing factory sets,
parts will be used and the bags containing them will be bought. Therefore, for
the purpose of the factory concept, any parts that are not unique to trains
could be excluded. It all depends whether the Ultimate Train Kit will be
designed to build a vehicle in order to sell more whole sets.
If all non-train parts were excluded, this leaves wheels, couplings, magnets,
bogie plates, wagon plates, windows and doors (with glass). The train motor is
already available separately.
I hope a train driver, conductor or track worker minifig is in there too.
Which other parts don't appear in other themes than trains?
