4561 Railway Express has the yellow diffuser and light brick, but the "black
brick" doesn't exist - the framework the diffuser fits into is the entire engine
plate.

4565 has 2 "black bricks", 2 diffusers, and ONE light brick for the engine.
SUCKs, since the light brick can't be ordered all by itself. I'm probably going
to build my own light bricks, since I'll have several black bricks and diffusers
frim 4565.
