Each model is available in two editions, an inaugural edition and the standard edition. The inaugural edition is limited to the first five kits of each model and includes a new, unopened and sealed 5301 gray wagon plate (with 12 holes and not 6 holes as in current production) and unused 4558 era printed doors, windows, and roof bricks. These old parts have been in storage for a long time and now are coming to light in these special kits. The balance of common parts are new modern production. As a added bonus, a random selection of minifigs are included. The standard edition uses modern parts, including the wagon plates, doors and other parts from the new 10001 release. Please note that the diaphragm uses regular bricks rather than the corrugated ones used by the Metroliner. |
