I don't expect it to meet my wildest dreams, but I _will_ be disapointed if all
I can do with it is order a 4561 in green/yellow :). Frankly, any step TLC
takes to make more trains is good, but I would far rather be able to play with
even 100 pieces in a designer than to be limited to a fixed set of modules.
That said, I would far rather be able to play with a fixed set of modules that
are somewhat cool/real train like than to be stuck with choosing the colour of
a 4561 :). And I'd far rather be able to choose the colour of a 4561 than not
have any trains at all...
Heck, if the modules were along the lines of front nose, cab and body, along
with 4 axles or 6, then we have all that a real railway has right now :).
It's just that I can _so_ see this being 4561 available in different colours,
which would disapoint me.
BTW, could the original poster (or anyone else with the new catalog) please
post a scan of the page with this on it? Some of us might othewise not see the
real announcement for 2-3 weeks more.
(or perhaps LD could post the relevent page(s)?)
