What would be really neat would be a working party like some from FR or TR in
Wales in the 50's.  School Jackets and all...

Sorry, what's "FR or TR"??? If *I* don't know what it is, it may not have
much draw to US train fans as none of them will know either. May do well
with the subset of UK train fans who know Wales, though.


Sorry, Ffestiniog and Tal-y-lyn railways.  (I just didn't want to have to look
up the proper welsh spellings...I guess I was expecting too much by using the
common initials, like if I had used ATSF or BN or SP or suchlike :)



First though, we need a 3 axle
train motor...and larger train wheels.

Those are hard, minifig pack is easy. I'll take easy now and hard later
instead of nothing now and hard later...

So would I.  But, the more we ask, the more likely they are to listen...look at
the Cypress Tree pack as a example.

If we don't ask, they are far less likely to make them.  I'd like to see a
modified setup that allowes the use of the older connecting rod set, and
cylinders, based on a slightly modified 9V motor.  Even if it was only 4 wheel,
that would at least help hide the lack of wheels.  Lets face it, as it is now,
there are a very limited number of steam prototypes that even the right number
of wheels level of accuracy is possible.  (Try modeling a 2-6-0, or 2-8-2 right
now...)
