I fear next years joke will not be mine: everybody would expect me to have done
it.

Of course that's not pedantic: in three out of five published pictures there is
no Lego logo at all. I think they are quite ok, but I will add some comment
into the pics right now.

The two pics which had used the red Lego and "DB" logos, are already
published in changed version.

I will ask Egon Eiermann to remove his pictures and to give a link on my page
instead.

Just a few words to Egon Eiermann. He got the "scans" from a gmx mail in
Liechtenstein (near Switzerland). In the mail he was told that the sender was
working in a print shop in Switzerland and got the new catalogue there.

All other people, who knew about the hoax, have been quiet the whole weekend
long. I wanted to thank them all once again at this point!

Regards (going to change my pics now)

Ben
