Looks pearl-like in light gray but these parts do not come in any known sets.
I found 8 of the 1x2 bricks in this color. Placed them on a bley 2x8 plate for
color guide

Bought a small mixed lot from Goodwill that has mostly Friends parts. If these
8 do not come in any sets, where did they come from?

colours there

There are a few for sale so they do at least exist. Amazing that the OP found
them in a Goodwill lot though - and in pretty good condition

The Pearl Light Gray bricks and plates were originally used for a Virgin Atlantic
747 model. They appear to have been made around 1999/2000ish. No idea where the
Flat Silver bricks came from as I don't even have a Part Color Code for them.
Non-production parts are great!

Unbelievably large, and leftover bricks/plates/tiles were available in LegoLand
pick-a-bricks for years after.

Current model shops (even Discovery Centers) have lots of fun parts in Flat Silver
to work with

I've seen PLG bricks (both 1X2 and other sizes) on sale on ebay years ago.
They exist, just not in sets, so nice find!

I can confirm that Pearl Light Gray items exist in the wild.

Mostly regular 1x and 2x Bricks and 1x and 2x Plates.

These are parts that escaped from LEGO model shops with LEGO Company authorization.
So, they could potentially exist in very large quantities and are genuine, official
parts and not "test bricks" or made in some unauthorized manner.

For at least one Lego fan convention, one of the LEGO company reps (in this case
it was Jake McKee) provided the event with some special items to be offered for
sale and auction to raise money for the failed project legofan dot org

Reference: https://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=3612

I own some and so do several other people, including Brickbuy (Dr. Paul Jansen)
who, as I recall, bought all of the PLG plates that were available. I bought
some of the bricks. Some of these have been offered for sale on BL over the
years since.

Very Nice Photo. I saved it for future reference.

You are missing 1x6, 1x8, and 2x8 Plates.

Looks like the 2x8 and 1x6 bricks are still missing photos here. Consider adding
them, maybe?


Also, I cannot find evidence that the 1x6, 2x6, or 2x8 plates were ever made,
so this could very well be all of them. All of these parts are in the non-production
ID range of 4133500-4133600.

4133577 is a 2x10 Silver plate. I don't think that's in this photo, but
it appears to exist.

I can confirm that Pearl Light Gray items exist in the wild.

Mostly regular 1x and 2x Bricks and 1x and 2x Plates.

These are parts that escaped from LEGO model shops with LEGO Company authorization.
So, they could potentially exist in very large quantities and are genuine, official
parts and not "test bricks" or made in some unauthorized manner.

For at least one Lego fan convention, one of the LEGO company reps (in this case
it was Jake McKee) provided the event with some special items to be offered for
sale and auction to raise money for the failed project legofan dot org

Reference: https://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=3612

I own some and so do several other people, including Brickbuy (Dr. Paul Jansen)
who, as I recall, bought all of the PLG plates that were available. I bought
some of the bricks. Some of these have been offered for sale on BL over the
years since.

4133577 is a 2x10 Silver plate. I don't think that's in this photo, but
it appears to exist.

Thank you, I did not know that!

This doesn't add much, but it's very likely that these were supposed
to be used in these sets:
 
Set No: 10022  Name: Santa Fe Cars - Set II (dining, observation, or sleeping car)
* 
10022-1 (Inv) Santa Fe Cars - Set II (dining, observation, or sleeping car)
408 Parts, 2002
Sets: Train: 9V: My Own Creation
 
Set No: 10025  Name: Santa Fe Cars - Set I (mail or baggage car)
* 
10025-1 (Inv) Santa Fe Cars - Set I (mail or baggage car)
326 Parts, 2002
Sets: Train: 9V: My Own Creation

Maybe there are some prototype trains out there.

Thanks!

Interesting that all these numbers are higher. That suggests they were introduced
later.

Maybe the first series was for the Legoland Virgin Atlantic model, and the later
series for another model. The train cars seem to be a possibility.

Looks pearl-like in light gray but these parts do not come in any known sets.
I found 8 of the 1x2 bricks in this color. Placed them on a bley 2x8 plate for
color guide

Bought a small mixed lot from Goodwill that has mostly Friends parts. If these
8 do not come in any sets, where did they come from?

Awe man, thank god I'm not crazy.

I have an assortment of maybe 30-40 various sized bricks in my used bins that
aren't listed. Similarly I could never actually verify their existence so
I never listed them.
