right (at least when you are talking about the 3x1x4 door).

I'm talking about the red 1x2x3 door (part number 32 and 33).
The set inventory at peeron includes 2 left doors (part 32)
I just checked the set inventory at bricklink, which includes 1 left door (part
32) and one right door (part 33).

Dear Niels,

I feel very sorry for the confusion I have caused. Completely my fault. I was
too lazy to look at the building instruction and from memory I was mixing it up
with the passenger coach from the western train 726, which has had the 1x3x4
doors. I remember from childhood times, that these were always opening and
closing wile driving through curves.

And funny enough I was asking myself that time which was worse: both doors
opening synchronous at one type of curve (right or left) or just one opening
door in every single curve.

And I think I must have modified my own 131 waggons to the 126 style doors at
some time.

Thanks for reminding me about the original LEGO design!

Leg Godt!

Ben











To make this set even more confusing, the set inventory at peeron includes 6 red
1x2x2 windows (part 7026), while the set invertory at bricklink includes 6 Red
Window 1 x 2 x 2 (old type) with extended lip (part 7026a).
The photograph on the instructions and the instruction images show the version
without extended lip.
All my four copies (none MISB) had the windows without extended lip, although
one of them had 1 window with extended lip and 5 without.

P.S. that the peeron inventory includes my name at the bottom was that I
corrected other parts in the inventory, not the doors being left or right.

Niels
