Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 726  Name: 12V Western Train with 2 Wagons and Cowboys
* 
726-1 (Inv) 12V Western Train with 2 Wagons and Cowboys
274 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1976
Sets: Train: 12V: Western

* Change {3 to 2} Part Black 15 Legs Old

Comments from Submitter:
No source is given for the existing inventory which includes a total of 6 legs. Peeron's inventory lists 6 legs also and the source is given as instructions.

However, the instructions only show a total of 5 legs (3 for the horse and 2 for minifigures). In the absence of any evidence from an actual set and because of the likelihood that BL/Peeron inventory sources were set instructions, I am changing the count of legs to match the count shown in the instructions. Note that Brickset's inventory currently shows only 5 legs.

Thank you for adding photos. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention when you posted:

  As I mentioned before, a collector checked his set and confirmed this. I can
also upload photos of Bluxe, if necessary.

So a vintage train collector has confirmed what the instructions are showing
with his copy of the set.

Those photos actually show six legs. Two with the figures on either end of the
carriage, 3 on the nose and legs of the horse, and an extra one mounted behind
the figure on the rear of the horse.

I asked again the Swedish train collector. He confirmed that there are 5 black
legs in his set. His set was not sealed. But he bought it, together with 725
in an excellent condition. Looks to them like the parts were never touched.

My suggestion is to leave it with 5 legs as it is based on instructions. If a
6th leg should be included, then we would need a better evidence.

Correcting vintage sets is sometimes too difficult. I think I need to find a
time travel machine and then travel to the past, discuss with some managers of
TLG and get some help from them.

Based on the comment of peterab, this inventory change request is not approved


No kidding, let me first check again with the collector of 12v train who checked
his copy yesterday. This is interesting now

What is the source here?
The instructions on Peeron are different as the build up on the picture.

At first, I had checked the instructions but didn't see the legs of the hourse.
At the same time, I was in contact with a collector from Sweden. I asked him
and he said FIVE legs.
The photos that I uploaded are from the store Bluxe.
Stefaan, The problem is that there could have been a 6th leg so that the minifigure
on the horse can come down and walk, otherwise he has to borrow a pair of leg
from the legs or the "month" of that horse!

Sezar, Sometimes the question can be answered by the pictures on the back of
the set box. Can you ask the store Bluxe
if they have any photos of the back?
I wanted to look at mine, but it is in one of 4 large boxes that are supporting
a 6ft x 6ft display of a Texillion* Friends sets.

Nice idea but the box doesn't give us anything. This cowboy guy stays on
the back of the horse for the entire of his life.
