I fell in love with this set when I first saw it late last year, was very disappointed that it didn't get a general release, and ever since I've been torn between buying one new/sealed or simply buying the bricks - but is bricklinking the set ever going to be possible? A month or so after the reveal, the inventory appeared online and while there were no new parts there were several unique colours that have since appeared in sets released this year. For example, 11212 Black Plate 3x3 was unique until Architecture 21033 Chicago was released. Hinge plate 6134 was unique in reddish brown, until Clayface Splat Attack and the brickheadz model of Belle were issued. At the moment, only 7 parts remain unique to 50 Years On Track: the 6 printed tiles stating the name of each model, and 50254 Small Train Wheel in red. These wheels are used on 3 of the steam engines , but none have ever appeared for sale on bricklink. After looking at current 2017 sets and scouring the images of upcoming 2017 sets, I'm starting to think this part will never appear anywhere. Have I missed something, are we ever likely to see the red small train wheels in a readily available set? Are there any alternatives that might be suitable? Or should I just take the plunge and buy a sealed set (which is typically double or more than the cost of the actual bricks)?
