Yes, It's True! Lego once made a Caboose, and the Instruction scans were uploaded to kl.net! It is set number 164: (URL) Just thought you all would like to know! Jeff (25 years ago, 23-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Ya! and check out the neat alternate models including an open air coach. Cool. Thanks for the pointer. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Yes, they also made it for that awful cargo train sometime last year, with the SAHS catalog with the California Semi flying past a broken bridge, if I remember right. I wasn't going to buy it, just for the caboose. Scott Sanburn (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 3225 Cargo train is a good value. I have 3, I think, and plan to get several more. The per piece price on bogies, motor, red windows, low slopes, etc, is quite attractive. And I think it's a cute set in its own right, see my review. However (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Larry; Sorry, Larry, I stand corrected. I humbly ask for forgiveness, I remember that discussion for 3225 now. I still think it is a Town junior approach to the trains, however. I could not get myself to buy it. I can't seem to find your review on (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Of course the Great Larry is correct about the nature of the car AND its *value* as a set. I recently purchased 4 upon hearing the rumor from a reliable source (Deep Throat) that the set will be discontinued this year:( Asking for humble (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) It is small and has fewer pieces than other train sets, but I don't think it is "juniorized" completely. It uses mostly regular pieces and I think its low piece count can be attributed to its low price more than anything else. Definitely worth (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Actually, this set has grown on me since I got one for Christmas. It's quite cute as Larry says. I still think it could have been done better but all in all it's worth buying. I wish I had a few more. One annoying thing is that if you run it (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) To beat Ben Fleskes to the punchline here, given the recent morbid fascination with wrecks on this group, is that a bug or a feature? :-) Agreed, though I think the tipper car in 2126, since it has two compartments, has a lower center of (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I don't think 3225 is Town, Jr. at all. Kind of a crappy design (I don't like mis-use of logwall bricks). It is *small*, and (I'm sure) not very prototypical (which isn't a problem for me). But it is a *cheaper* train than LEGO has ever (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

I think #3225 is a decent set I guess, (I looked over it a few more times since my initial post), but I wanted more train cars, and I bought #2126 instead, simply because I thought it was better for a good selection of different kinds of train cars. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
