Well, I have my own badly scratched up Classic doors. I even have some
slides of me 30 years ago with a Marklin HO train set (still have it)
and some neat LEGO buildings I made. I even had some of the old HO
scale LEGO trucks - if only I hadn't given them to my 3 year old
twins before coming out of the dark ages....
Anyways, I might grab a junky HO scale locomotive for parts at a local
discount store and see what happens...
