  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 148  Name: Central Station
* 
148-1 (Inv) Central Station
266 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1975
Sets: Train: 4.5V

* Change 1 Part White {33bc01 Door 1 x 2 x 3 Hinge on Right (old type) to 32bc01 Door 1 x 2 x 3 Hinge on Left (old type)}

Comments from Submitter:
The instructions clearly show the handle on the other side of the door.

I got one used copy in a lot in which all sets were in perfect condition with
their box. Indeed, the same lot in which there were few space sets like 926,
a train 7715,...
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=235315

The parts of this station 148-1 are in very good condition. Looks like they were
not played with. The door 33bc01 has hinge on the left. I don't know if TLG
produced and used both it depends on the set?

398-1 (Inv) U.S.S. Constellation
978 Parts, 1 Gear, 1978

* Change 52 Part Light Gray {3062b Brick, Round 1 x 1 Open Stud to 3062a Brick, Round 1 x 1 Solid Stud}

Comments from Submitter:
The set originally came with the older type of this part

I bought this set with box and everything from Germany few months ago. I can
say the parts are original. Some are yellowed. And yes, all the light gray round
bricks were solid stud. Did the previous owner or owners replaced all 52 open
stud 3062b with solid studs 3062a? All the 52 copies of them? I don't know
if the submitter have an original copy of this set coming with light gray 3062a,
but I believe this inventory change request is correct.

The same AFOL mentioned about his set 310-3 that comes with the blue brick 1*2
with closed O Lego logo. This brick is currently not in any inventory.
I checked few used copies and saw both variants in different copies.

A user on a facebook group claimed that he bought the set in 197 coming with
closed O Lego logo. I checked about 15 used copy and didn't see the open
logo in any of them. Also, the closed Lego logo was introduced in 1973.
The situation with these vintage sets is complicated, specially when it comes
to the Lego logo...

Hi,

This set is from 1988 so it is time to upgrade our Message Intercept Bases
See photos attached.

  Randy,

Any news?

The other Inventory Admin, Paul, ordered this set new from somewhere. I was waiting
for him to receive his set to take care of this request. Prior to that, though,
when him and I talked about this set, we both had our doubts that the parts were
included in the new set since the box images do not show them anywhere.

Cheers,
Randy

I just received my set and can confirm that it has the light gray 4x4 plates.
I will accept the inventory change request now.

Awesome! How cool is that?!? A 38-year-old set inventory may be correct for the
first time ever!

I love things like this on BrickLink.

So do I.
Maybe the most popular train in 80s is 7745-1. With the help of few AFOLs, we
collected many photos of sealed and used copies to find out the inventory of
all variations (1985-90). At the end, I wondered how or why nobody else corrected
any of this before us?
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=7745-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1

I think this inventory will not change any more (unless minor changes like something
in the counterpart section,...)

Set No: 4549  Name: Container Double Stack
* 
4549-1 (Inv) Container Double Stack
443 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1993
Sets: Train: 9V

* Add 1 Part 2972a Light Gray Train Base 6 x 34 Split-Level with Bottom Tubes and Three Holes at Each End (match ID 1)
* Change 1 Part Light Gray 2972 Train Base 6 x 34 Split-Level with Bottom Tubes {Regular to Alternate} {match ID 0 to 1}

The first variant has three hols on each end as it shows on the instructions.
It was used in starting 1993 for this set and 4547-1. In later productions, the
later variant with one hole on each end was produced coming with this set too.
See
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/lego-system-4549-container-double-412853958

The set you linked to shows proof for the one-hole version, but I do not feel
comfortable to add the three-hole version just based on the instructions.

At this time,
 
Part No: 2972  Name: Train Base 6 x 34 Split-Level with Bottom Tubes (Undetermined Type)
* 
2972 Train Base 6 x 34 Split-Level with Bottom Tubes (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Train
Marked for Deletion
is basically a catch-all entry since it can include both versions of the part
as the catalog note states. Therefore, the inventory is technically not incorrect
until the one-hole version gets its own catalog entry and this part gets marked
for deletion.

Any additional thoughts on this, Paul?

Randy

Hi Randy,

In my opinion, there is no doubt the three-hole was the first version and it
was used for both sets 4547 and 4549. The set 4549 was available in US only as
"shop at home" as far as I see in the catalogs which is why it is rare there.
If you check in some European markets, most copies come with 3-hole versions.
Let me share my thoughts on this one.

This piece is rare, appeared only in early releases of there two sets. If not,
then we should assume that TLG produced both versions since very early 1993,
used the one-hole version for 4547-1 (against the instructions) and the three-hole
version for 4549-1 and later, they used the one-hole version for 4547-1 too.
Then as most used copies of 4549-1 in Europe come with 3-hole versions, we should
also assume that their owners replaced the original 1-hole one with the 3-hole
version.

Here are two used copies. I also bought one copy from Germany coming with 3-hole
variant
https://picclick.de/Lego-System-4549-Container-Double-Stack-Road-%C2%B4n%C2%B4-Rail-153552552889.html

https://picclick.de/LEGO-Containertransportwagen-Container-Double-Stack-Set-Nr-4549-183867635295.html

It is possible to find an opened new copy of 4549-1 coming with 3-hole version,
sometime in the future but then, how can we be sure that this piece would be
original to the set as it does not come in a sealed bag?

I have ordered a light tent but I am not sure I have the one-hole version. I
need to check my second copy of 4549-1. But I can add it to the catalog and then,
you can decide on how to proceed with the inventory of this set.

Reza

Set No: 7822  Name: Railway Station
* 
7822-1 (Inv) Railway Station
372 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 1980
Sets: Train: 4.5V

* Add 4 Part 3242 Light Gray Train, Track 12V Conducting Rail Straight

The source is from a NIB set sold on Ebay in Italy.
I have also seen used lots containing 4.5v sets+7822 and 4 extra conducting rails.

This set is advertised 4.5v in catalogs 1980-2 but TLG included 4 straight conducting
rails too so at the end, it was both working with either 4.5v or 12v layout.

I'm not convinced that this set would originally come with conducting rails.
It seems more likely that this seller would throw those rails in with the set
as a service for buyers who might want to use it with a 12V layout. I don't
remember my own set coming with these rails.

This is the only MISB set I have seen. I contacted the seller and asked him more
photos. He didn't know about Lego much and didn't have other train-related
staff. He was certainly not a Lego dealer, that I am sure.

We would never know if ALL copies contained these extra conducting rails.
The problem is that I cannot trust used lots at all as conducting rails are so
common and people have them. However, I attach a used lot containing only 4.5V
sets sold on Ebay in US where 12v train were not sold. We see 3 straight conducting
rails and there may be one extra (or maybe lost?).

I do have another set of photos of an NIB copy but the quality is bad and we
cannot see much.

I also point two things:
1) how did the seller know he had to add 4 extra conducting rails but they are
included in peeron, bricklink,...? why did he do that? I remember he did not
claim the set was complete. In the advertisement, he mentioned something like
"all bags are sealed. Not sure if complete"
2) The conducting rails have contact holes. These are produced between 1980-87.
But they came in two versions. The first version didn't have plastic reinforcements
below the notches (1980-84) but since 1985 they added extra plastic (to all types,
including straight, curved, cross, points,...). See
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1078534

In the photos we can see two conducting rails don't have reinforcements (the
other two are not visible). This is also why I trusted them.

Ok. Maybe you are right about these. But if we add these I think they should
be added as extra parts and not regular parts. They are not shown anywhere on
the box art or instructions. That would fit the definition of extra parts.

I am not convinced about this change request, either, but if we do end up accepting
it, they will most likely need to be added as Extra Items with an accompanying
Inventory Note.

Cheers,
Randy

Hi Randy,

I admit this is a tricky one. I recall the baseplate of 7838. I had seen all
used copies (about 20 maybe) coming with the version that has dot prints
[p=3811p010]
But I saw in the photos of store Bluxe a NIB copy coming with
 
Part No: 3811  Name: Baseplate 32 x 32
* 
3811 Baseplate 32 x 32
Parts: Baseplate
I asked him and he said he had never seen or had 3811p010 in his collection.
But I still couldn't trust. Then, I saw a second NIB again from France coming
with 3811p010. This time I believe it. I bought the copy and it came with a catalog
from 1986 but the set was advertised in catalogs 1982-5. So, I think TLG ran
out of 3811p010 and used 3811 for latest production.

The 12v series were first released in few countries: Germany, Switzerland, Belgium,
Netherlands and Scandinavian countries in 1980. I have very strong evidence that
some sets like 7730 and 7750 were only produced in 1980 and then TLG stopped
producing them as they had already enough in their warehouse/shops. However since
the summer 1981, the 12v series were introduced in Italy, France and UK too.
in 1980, only few 4.5v sets like 7720-1 were available in the market of these
countries. So they produced more of some not-well-sold sets like 7822 and It
seems they re-purposed this
set to be 12V as they were no 12v station between 1980-82. Also, they were a
second run of production of 7730 for these countries (together with Germany and
maybe Scandinavian countries) as the strong evidence shows that this train was
not produced anymore for the market of Netherlands/Belgium. So this inventory
change request is certainly possible, regardless of the evidence I provided.

Anyway, this inventory change request is not very important. In case you reject,
we may still be lucky and find in future another new copy in UK, France or Italy.

Cheers,
Reza
