Is there big difference of inner contents of Metroliner 4558 and 10001

Hi,

First of all, thank you for all your replies on my first post of polishing lego clear parts.

My another question is about the inner contents of Metroliner 4558. As you guys all know, this great train set was re-released in 2001 with the set number 10001 with black and white box.

As far as I know, before I get into 'dark age' of my Lego back in 1990, the last set was 6285, and at that time the inside contents was not just sealed brick bags and instruction, but Catalogue and extra manual sheet, if needed.

I did some research and found that the original 4558 set contains great catalogue and extra manual sheet of operating electric train system. I wonder whether the inner contents of 10001 is as same as 4558. Of course the catalogue could not be same as it was released in 2001, but what about other inner contents?

Thank you~

Have you read the 10001 set review on Eurobricks? http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29654

Thank you, I have read it with joy. It seems that the catalogue and electric train set install instruction sheet, which was included in 4558, is not included in this set.

Don't quote me on this, but I think the main difference is that some of the printed parts in 4558 are stickers in 10001... otherwise it should be the same.

I'm really glad I picked up a 10001 when it came out; I wish Lego would be more re-releases like this.
