If it was the little white shed with the red uncoupling point, that one
was mine. I had instructions up, but unfortunately, lost the pics when
my web host got bought out. I can't seem to find them again, but if
there's some interest, I'll try to recreate them and repost on
Brickshelf when I can. (Alternately, if anyone saved all 16 or so steps,
and would like to forward them to me, I'll get 'em posted back up asap!)

for a limited application. (Wouldn't want to build up my whole train
