that after you said you'd try to take another look.

I, for one, am grateful for any info, and grateful you're sharing.
Most appreciated.


Although I paid another visit to LEGO this week I was only able to get a brief
glimpse of the new range. The room where they were was being used for a management
meeting.

I certainly liked the new train. I don't think it is in the same class as the
Metroliner which is a pure passenger express train. From what I can remember the new
one carries passengers and freight but is not anywhere near so way out as the yellow
and black 4559.

There were just so many sets to try and take in that I didn't pick up all the
detail. It certainly was an over-whelming experience. I would have liked to stayed
longer. Never mind, not long to wait now.
