Jeff,

Hmmm...  Anyone besides me find these suspicious?  The images just don't • feel
right...  Not to mention the font is wrong...

Jeff

You know, I was thinking the same thing to some extent, the pictures, the
font, who knows? I was wondering,  though, did you ever see the part in this
set before:

What I can't figure out is the pantagraph on the roof.  Most of it looks
familiar:  the very top piece looks like a 1x6 black low "fence" piece; the
hinge structure looks familiar; but, the method of attaching the 1x6 black low
"fence" piece to the "finger" hinges is what I can't readily dicern.

The red part, the 3x3 wall part, with the window in it. I never saw it
before. The pictures sure seem a little "non-professional" for LEGO as well.
(The shadows of the bright lighting in the above mentioned picture is
suspect) Could be a hoax, I don't know.

Gotta wonder!  Love the models, regardless of the truth.  My compliments to the
builder(s).

later,
James Mathis

That would be consistent with the hypothesis that the "scans" are not scans but layout drafts. I wonder if it is (...) (25 years ago, 1-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)
