10027 color issues

BubbaM

Does anyone know if 10027 (Train Engine Shed) was ever shipped with the newer gray shades? The databases only list the old grays yet I purchased a set with box and instructions with the new gray colors. It had the yellow hand cart, the rare green 3X2 plate, even the smoke windows. The owner swears he purchased it with those colors and every piece of light and dark gray was in the new bluish shade. Even piece 30540 was dark bluish gray in this set and there is only one of those in the world on Bricklink?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

@BubbaM If you look at the bottom of the set inventory page you will see a disclaimer for this.

Correct - note states :

"On first issue of this kit, it appeared with original browns and greys. Subsequent kits may have reddish browns and bluish greys. Please check before parting out!"

Thank you very much! I missed that note on Bricklink and it doesn't appear on peeron. Was kind of interesting in that the windows were still Old Gray and the rest of the light pieces were light bluish great in this set.

Great News, thanks again.
