I love people that casually talk about owning more than eight trains...

Hmm, not sure which bits you can't read but here goes.
The bottom corner of the first picture advertieses a competition to drive a
train, visit a museum in Berlin and experience the facsination of the
railways. Best bit? see other side for details.
The station has a storage shed, passengers (lit. travellers) and a wagon.
The 4460 has lights, digital control and a work platorm.
4450 express locomotive (lit. quick loco) with digital control, oval of track
and two first class coaches.
4432 freight wagon with freight pallet and railworker
The controller mentions a infrared tower (Infrarotschnittstelle) for
connecting to your PC (can we say mindstorms?)
The pictures suggest that if you have any questions to speak to you local lego
retailer. Yeah right as if Lego Australia knows anything!
HTH. James. (who wants some old 12v stuff? I'll swap!)
