Also not to nitpick, but the part that's available in the 5978 is the 6x6
dual-low-slope roofcap, not the 6x6 multi-sloped roof cap--there's a
difference!  Both are much sought after by us trainheads, though (well, at
least those of us who haven't gone loopy and started building things that are
too wide for our track! ;)

Alan

the Sphynx's back.

In the picture stated above, the top part of the MF is on the upper right • of
the picture.  Look at the two open "hatches."  I think those are grey train
roof pieces, like the black ones in 4558 and 4559!

Please allow me to pinch you:

This part was incuded in set 4563, Load N' Haul Railroad.
These parts where included in set 4551, the Crocodile Engine.

Oops, you're right (The purpose of my original msg was "that colour has never
been available before!), obviously I am no train expert (although I do have
4563).

If it WAS the grey roof's first appearance, I'm sure you guys would have
spotted it a long time ago and would have all calmed down by now...

Forgive my inexperience.  :)

Technic set 8856 Whirlwind Rescue contains(ed) the 6x6 multi-slope roof cap. Until seeing the two in the Mil. Falcon, I had sought 8856 for that single piece. Failing to find the 8856 set, I look forward to getting a Falcon for these pieces alone. (...) (25 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Careful, Alan. Wait until you see for yourself those "too wide for our track" trains next week. You may be changing your tune;-) But you are correct. The reintroduction of that part hardly excites me at all. -John (...) (25 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.trains)
