There has been alot of talk about the classic train again lately, so I grabbed my shop at home catalogu to give it a look. First, I still do not like it based the same reasons everyone else doesn't like it, but economically... 3 pairs of wheel sets (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Chris, Yes, it is still available, I got the new Adventurer cover (Spring? I have to go look at it now! OK, Spring 1999 titled Jungle Adventure - Pretty neat picture!) page 9, bottom. $66.00US. I thought about this train a lot, and I think it is a (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

I finally completed my 3225 Classic Train last night. It is very relaxing to build at the end of the evening. I have to agree with the majority of previous posts, it is a weird little train. It is cute, but the cars just look 'odd'. The best car (...) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

It's not a caboose. A caboose has a cupola or a bay window, or at least, a work area for the conductor. It's not a pullman. A pullman has beds, washrooms, a porter's office, etc. It's a coach. It's really pretty simple to remember coach, I think. (...) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Larry! What sacrilege. How could TLG be wrong? If they say it is a caboose, it must be! Just put on your Town Jr. glasses and then make a decision as to what it is. (Just kidding, I know it's a coach) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

OK. It is a coach. Larry, have you seen the spring S@H catalog? The catalog has 3225 pictured and points out "Only caboose available for Lego trains!" :) Bryan to wife - "Can you hand me that coach car?" Wife - "Its a caboose... And say please." (...) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Blimey! I've just looked those sets up. 2150 is exactly the same as the station I've got, except it's red instead of yellow. That looks incredible. I want one of them as well. Oh dear. I'm not going to have any money at all soon. I'm going to (...) (26 years ago, 5-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)
