I ran across the Duplo Van Type 2 which exists in three different versions. The
1406cxx-part is made from three parts plus wheels screwed together. The top part
has the mould number 58234 visible but is not in the catalog. Is it possible
to add this as an alternate number?

I think 58234 should be added as an alternate part number to all three of the
1406cxx-parts.

The 58235 and 50281 are not as important in the catalog as they are only visible
if you unscrew it.

ps More background info:
The 1406cxx consists of the following parts:
1x 58234 Top - Roof and Side (not in the catalog)
1x 58235 Middle - Interior and Side (not in the catalog)
1x 50381 Bottom - Chassies (not in the catalog)
2x 47436c01pb01 Duplo Wheel with Tread (30mm diameter) Double Assembly with Metal
Axle (40mm) and Metallic Silver Classic Hub Pattern

Don't know. But while a enjoy my coffee and we wait for an answer to your
question, I'd like to make some observations about your profile, Pontus...

- You’ve got the best “About Me Page" on BL, imho.
- You have the first and by extension, oldest BL store from Sweden
- After 20+ years on BL, you’re about to go green.
- Fantastic ID card pic, you could pass for a younger Han.

If ever so inclined: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1276661

Thanks

Yes. In fact, I am now doing such a thing for a number of parts along with a
couple of other members. We are trying to learn as much as we can about the "hidden"
parts that are missing in the design number timeline. Thanks for helping with
this "behind-the-scenes" project.

I will get to it soon.

Cheers,
Randy

Is this a project for things such as the part numbers on various halves of horses
and big figures, etc if you force them apart?

Sure. But it is a "behind-the-scenes" thing. So if you want to contribute, contact
me through PM.

This has been completed. Each van can now be found with the 50281, 58234, 58235,
or 58236 part numbers using the wildcard searches 50281*, 58234*, 58235*, or
58236* respectively.

The request actually led to more work than I had originally thought, because
the sets containing the vans were not inventoried properly. So this request actually
served a dual purpose and solved another catalog issue.

Cheers,
Randy
