(...) I can't speak for Samarth, but I was thinking of just that, because it's a LEGO face... no more non LEGO or stickers or whatever. (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2005)

(...) First, THANK YOU for posting these pictures! I'm already drooling over some of these new sets, and that hasn't happened in a while. 2005 looks like it should be a good year for LEGO and AFOLs. 2nd, I think we'd have to handicap a LUGNET team (...)

(...) This line in my original email may be unclear. It is my hope that the licensing contract Lego signed with the Thomas owners (Britt Alcroft?) does not limit LEGO to producing Thomas sets only in Duplo scale. I would like to see 9V System Thomas (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2005)

(...) Yes, with these, we'll have the correct LEGO elements necessary to pull it off. People were doing ATSF warbonnets and BNSF units long before the official sets came out, but their appearance made things a lot easier for kitbash purposes. In (...)

(...) Here you can see the released version: (URL) yes, it is the one from the box. I must say; it is a great build and nicely detailed. But my 6361 Mobile crane is afraid of it! Mark "so is my dragon" de Kock (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.year.2005)

(...) Don't see it making much of a difference. I'm pretty sure they can be kitbashed into 8-wide scale, at least, if not 6. You might yet see it on 9V track, but in MOC form. Legoswami (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2005)

I'm surprised there has not been more discussion about the Thomas license. DUPLO Thomas shots (URL) is a considerable amount of DUPLO track in my house. And I'm sure my 10 month old daughter will enjoy running Thomas on the track. So when will (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2005)

(...) Yes. That's why I took the pics, as this is a released set in the US and I have one on order. I skipped taking a lot of pics of most of the released sets. I think/hope the box (bigger 6 hole wheels, but fewer of them) reflects the production (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.year.2005)
