Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 4556  Name: Train Station
* 
4556-1 (Inv) Train Station
212 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 1999
Sets: Train: 9V

* Delete 4 Part 6014b White Wheel 11mm D. x 12mm, Hole Notched for Wheels Holder Pin
* Add 4 Part 6014a White Wheel 11mm D. x 12mm, Hole Round for Wheels Holder Pin

Comments from Submitter:
Hello
Collecting parts for 6468-1. Part 6014u is listed. Trying to decide between
6014a and 6014b. Colour of interest is white. Set year is 1999
Observations from catalog:
6014a: all colours 1991-2003, 163 sets -- year 1999, 24 sets -- 16 White,
2 Light Grey, 6 Yellow.
6014b: all colours 1999-2024, 563 sets -- year 1999, 1 set White


Further Part 6014a is a subpart in to Parts:
6014ac01(6014a 6015) and
30187c01 Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis & White Wheels

Using part 30187c01, a search of the catalog identifies problems with inventories
of the following sets:
1) 6459-1 1999 lists parts Yellow 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014u
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
2) 6636-1 2002 lists parts White 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014b
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
3) 7034-1 2003 lists parts White 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014b
Recommend changing it to 6014a.
4) 4556-1 1999 lists parts Yellow 30178c01 Tricycle but incorrectly lists the
white wheel as 6014b
Recommend changing it to 6014a.

Of most interest to me in regard to set 6468-1 is the likely error in set 4556-1
as it is the only set in the year 1999 where part 6014b appears. I would argue
that if that set is changed to 6014a, then there would be no sets before 2000
where 6014b appears. That would suggest strongly that set 6468-1 should also
be changed to 6014a.

Hope this is helpful to the BL community
Regards

Here's an unboxing of set 4556. Watching the full resolution of the image,
I can see the notched hole of one of the wheels:

https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2655465

It is possible, though, that during their time periods, the sets in question
(4556, 7034, 6636, 6459, 6468) could have come with round hole wheels, but unless
we get visual proof from sealed sets, I believe we will not make changes to these
sets based on speculation alone.

As such, I will reject your requests and you will need to recreate them if you
find solid evidence. Your requests will be kept in the forum for later reference
if the need arises.

Thank-you for the reply and your research. I see the notched wheels in the image
you provided and I accept your decision. However, if the wheels are to remain
6014b for this set, I would recommend you delete the Inv ID 176898 counter part
30187c01 Yellow Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis & White Wheels as that tricycle
specifies the 6014a wheel rather than the 6014b wheels.
As there currently no version of the Yellow Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis &
White Wheels with the 6014b wheels, in the BL catalog, perhaps one could be created
and that one could be added as a counterpart to the set in question.
Kind Regards.

Please see:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1456765

So this set has come with round hole wheels also.

I will look into the situation regarding the tricycle counterpart as we currently
don't have a correct combination of chassis color and wheel type in the catalog.

The situation regarding the wheels on the tricycle counterparts have been handled
by addition of

 
Part No: 30187c01a  Name: Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis and White Wheels - Round Holes on Rear Wheels
* 
30187c01a (Inv) Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis and White Wheels - Round Holes on Rear Wheels
Parts: Riding Cycle
 
Part No: 30187c01b  Name: Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis and White Wheels - Notched Holes on Rear Wheels
* 
30187c01b (Inv) Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis and White Wheels - Notched Holes on Rear Wheels
Parts: Riding Cycle

and the removal of

 
Part No: 30187c01  Name: Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis and White Wheels (Undetermined Type)
* 
30187c01 (Inv) Tricycle with Dark Gray Chassis and White Wheels (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Riding Cycle

from all but one inventory where the wheel type is currently undetermined.

If you find proof of sealed sets including different wheels than in the current
inventories, feel free to post inventory change requests for the sets in question
including the correct counterparts.

Again, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
