Here are four 1999 non-U.S. train sets available in the Netherlands:


  1.  Snow remover on the track:

  2.  Train wash equipment:

It's different (heard that before) but why are they using a green baseplate
instead of a grey one?  I guess it's a case of juniorization.

  3.  Train station:

I don't think it's that bad looking.  Just perform some modifications (an
additional dock plate w/ a ramp and some red bricks to get rid of the
rounded corners) and it will look decent.

Boy, they really screwed up here!  On crane sets like the 4555 and 7823 you
could move the entire crane on both X and Y axis (Z moving up or down).  For
some junior reason, they didn't do it, only foreward or back, no more left
or right.  Don't we already have a fixed crane that comes with 4565? I'm
adding elements of the 7823 if I get this set.
