Ooh, I like your V2... it has lots of parts that non trainies would like too
(they can trade off the few train specific things like wheels...)
Some nits to pick
I think I’d go with more large windows than small, maybe 2:1? Have to agree
on the colors, earth tones are where it’s at.

i agree on the ratio 2:1 but for the colors i would rather see all of the
green parts as dark green. now yes dark green is more valuble which would
make a good excuse in its self but the real reason is dark green is more
valuble to prototyping. everything from euro steam to pullmans are closer to
the dark green than bright.

Ya, good catch. Dark green is a sweet color and replacing everything green in
JM’s proposal with dark green is the way to go.

I think I’d dump the straight wagon plates, those are easy to come by in
regular sets. Replace with more drop centers perhaps, in different colors
(red and yellow come to mind, or even brown!)

i dissagree, while not very usefull to alot of adult train builders they are
still usefull to the kids. the other thing is that they are large enough that
they could be a seperate item instead of bagged with additional parts. as for
colors i agree that brown would be cool but probably not universal enough to
be usefull. basic black and perhaps darkstone gray would be more universal in
there usefullness.

I guess I come at this from, is this going to replace all the other service
packs out there, all the other sets out there? if it is, then yes, basic stuff
is needed. but if it’s an enhancement, then I think it should have only parts
you can’t get other ways (conveniently or in enough quantity to be useful). So I
don’t know if I agree or not because I don’t know the answer to that question! I
THOUGHT it was an enhancement but could be wrong.
James poses another good question in his reply, should this parts pack make
“some” model or is it OK if it just rounds out existing sets and parts
assortments. The answer to that one depends on the above, is this a replacement
or an enhancement. Again, I thought it was a round out rather than a standalone.
If this parts pack is broken down into bags for Lego Factory (and, as an aside,
for LF purposes I would suggest that they divide bags by color, put all the tan
together rather than all the 1x2x3 windows, for example) then the basic bricks
needed to make the rest of the rolling stock item presumably come from other
bags already in the palette.
