Any idea of which countries 4561 will be available in? I certainly don't
have much need of an extra controller (would probably just as soon buy a
couple from Larry when I get a big enough table to need more than 2).

I think we may need to petition George Lucas to feature a train as one
of the important things in Episode 2... Then, maybe then, we'd get a
