While we're being pedantic, it's not TLG that is wrong, it's the US Lego Shop
at Home service that is wrong. S@H may be part of TLG but it is not TLG. S@H
(and LEGO Systems Inc of North America) seem to make up their own names for
things independently of the rest of TLG. Sets in the UK seem to have much more
sensible names.
E.g.
#4525 Rail and Road Excavator(UK) Road N' Rail Repair(US) How are you supposed
to repair things with an excavator?
#4552 Track Repair Team(UK) Cargo Crane(US) Looking at what this set comes
with it is NOT a cargo crane!
#4559 High Speed Train Starter Set(UK) Cargo Railway(US) Passengers are cargo?!
