(...) Did you check that catalogue more carefully about the locomotive too then...? Your locmotive has those lightning stickers with 9 volts on them, and those are nowhere to be seen in that catalogue that I got too! Greetz, Anton (18 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains)

Hi, Got the winter catalogue and some other promo stuff on LEGOworld and suddenly I noticed something strange on the pictures of the red boxcar. On all the pictures it has an extention on one side, like a ventilation thingy. And I couldn't remember (...) (18 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains)

Hi there (...) Tim is correct. That custom (normally used as the driver to my Hansom cab MOC) was custom-painted by me. It was a bit of a "let's see how far I can go with this" exercise. In fact, I scraped away the paint at least once - it was (...) (18 years ago, 20-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
