Finally, back to my original post: Most of the first series freight train sets (released from 1986-1991) included a MP15 locomotive with yellow side rails. However, there were a few (what have been described to me as) "factory mistakes", where the side rails were black. I have one of each as you can see in the pictures. The boxes were labeled with the same part number, so I believe that they were indeed "mistakes". However, I would like to know how many of the black rail lMP15's exist. I've been told "5" by one person and "around a dozen" by somebody else, but I really don't know how credible either source is. Does anyone have any reliable insight on this subject?
