Many thanks to you two for sending your trains. I don't suppose
you'd like me to "store" them for you on a permanent basis? 8-)
I too was pleasantly surprised that the VIA stripes lined up, but then
I realized what JamesP said - it's a fortunate natural outcome of the
brick and window spacing/sizing. I didn't think JamesP's blue engine
quite looked like a VIA engine, but it was the only blue engine we
had, so... As for surviving the trip, very little of it did survive intact,
(similar with Zonker's, but not as bad) but I was able to reconstruct
almost everything. (I'm sure glad you used all those zip-lock bags.)
That all-SNOT VIA engine was beyond me though - especially without
an idea of what the intact engine looked like. :-) It's too bad Kai
didn't send his VIA engine. http://news.lugnet.com/org/ca/nalug/?n=556
I'm just hoping Steven thinks I've done his UnionPacific design justice
with "Little Red". http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=33742
(That shot is one of two that I specifically wanted to get - thanks James.)

Who - after this weekend - is having an even harder time
resisting joining Kevin on "the dark 8ide. ;-)
