 | | Q: How useful is "6497 Twisted Time Train" for LEGO trains?
|
|
Hello! I'm an AFOL who's waiting on his first LEGO train set to show up in the mail this week. I noticed that S@H has 6497 on special this week and I was wondering how useful it is for parts. Is there anything useful in this set? Thanks! Fred. (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

How useful, as far as "train" parts go? I think the only thing useful in the whole lot for "train" is the log wall pieces as lumber cargo for a flatbed car. Other than that, who knows. Rich Have Fun! C-Ya! Legoman34 ***** Legoman34 (Richard W. (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Speaking of Time Suckers, does anyone have a couple of the grey train noses out of 6493 Flying Time Vessel they'd want to trade/sell? I have them on my Wants page at (URL) that I FINALLY own a 4558, I want to put grey noses on it (NO, I need to keep (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Hmmm... I don't know if you'd be interested, but I've been holding onto a couple of those sets (6493). They're MISB with a little shelf wear. I picked them up in the hopes of one day doing exactly what you plan to, but since the likeliness of me (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

The problem is that the ONLY piece I want out of those sets is the train nose, I don' even want the rest of the set near me ;-) (...) -- Tom Stangl ***(URL) Visual FAQ home ***(URL) Bay Area DSMs (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

It's a pity that the set didn't come with a pirate ship hull middle segment. Pirate nuts would have been snapping the set up to get hull segments, and the train fans could have gone in with them to get the train nose elements. -- jthompson@esker.com (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yea, if that was the case, even I might have some extra nose pieces (I do have a bunch of these, but I'm not giving up any nose pieces yet). The only parts I really don't like about this set are the minifigs. (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

I hate to reply to my own post, but if I'm reading all the replies correctly: 6497 is worthless. Correct? Fred. (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Worthless is a bit harsh. It has a lot of good parts. But it doesn't have any train specific parts in it to speak of, it's not really a train. (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Perhaps you're thinking of 6496 Whirling Time Warper? -- that's the one with the bubble (not 6497, but colse). Yes, it is the Divers bubble. --Todd (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)
