  The 1996 train station [2150](https://brickset.com/sets/2150-1/) was a red recolour of the same design from 1991 ([4554](https://brickset.com/sets/4554-1/)).
  
  The colour packs for "My Own Train" ([3743](https://brickset.com/sets/3743-1), [3744](https://brickset.com/sets/3744-1) etc.) are the same bricks in five different colours, to be combined with the basic locomotive sets [3740](https://brickset.com/sets/3740-1) / [3741](https://brickset.com/sets/3741-1).
