Train Hooks from the 1960's x507, x508 and their plates.

[Chris Dee]

I started doing the hooks and plates for the early train connections and now it is time to start uploading them and here comes the trouble:

What is currently on the PT?

Hooks: x507 and x508
Plates: 737 and 509 for the hooks, 753 for magnets

x507
This is actually a part that consists of two parts, the bottom plate and the hook-element
Furthermore there are two versions of it, the earlier one where the hook is connected in the middle with a small round element and the latter part which has a rectangular interconnection with the botom plate.

For compatibility I would propose:
- add the two versions x507a and x507b
- make x507 a "move to" to x507a

so far so good, what number to assign to the bottom plate?

x508
This part is one mold, I  can simply use the existing file on the PT and amend it.

We are out of 3-digit part numbers so we now use uNNN or uNNNN. Where there is some resemblance to a Peeron xNNN number it is acceptable to use a matching uNNN number rather than something from the u9NNN series. So please use u886 for the plate (or u886a/u886b if there are two versions) - see http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x886 .

Note that on release xNNN numbers will lose the 'x', but uNNN number retain the 'u'.
