  What if Lego went back and put back into the mix limited editions of past
Train Sets. How many of you out there would buy them? I'm sure everyone would
probably buy them.

Lego should better release nice new trains with "real" train doors and windows.
The effort do do a good set wouldn't be too high. Just imagine a pair of
green passenger cars. Additional they could sell a brown 3. class waggon and a
dark grey luggage car (all of them with classic train doors and windows.

I wish more colour variations: dark grey roof pieces, green parts like the
frontpart from 4563 drivers cab. I wish there were red and dark grey wheel
sets, red (and dark grey?) 9V motors. Red Metroliner front part, red (and dark
grey) magnetic couplings and buffers. It would be very cool for us to get
models, which contain just these coulour modified pieces (and it wouldn't be
too expensive for Lego).

Only new part I wish to see is a new wheelblock (red and black) with bigger and
open spoked wheels (like the ones from Playmobil). They should offer a hole for
a technic peg to add connecting rods and they should offer a possibility to
drive a technic axle (of course you could drive them with a technic motor then
either...)

P.s.: my most important wish at Lego is them to produce really 100% quality
(like in the 80ies). Some of the newer bricks I bought have had a poor quality
(like Lego clons). Parts didn't fit together and seem to be bended although
they came new out of package....

I want several new parts, but not a huge number (roughly in order of desireability): - Metal wheelset with power connection - Train motor with jumper between (...)

I was talking with someone in a Toystore of all places about Lego trains and we got into a discussion about some of the older trains. While I was driving home it hit me. While everyone here is a loyalist to lego I want to get everyone's input as a (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
