Well, you write it all down, then add up a running total, then check your
postage price points, then cross half of it off again. Then you find that
the S@H web site hits the IE memory leak spot on, and it's now running far
too slowly to actually buy anything.
I thought the lights were damned expensive, and would look a little odd to
just have one big one on the front. Anyway, I'm pushing mine along.

I wouldn't mind another motor (Jon?) if you've got them? I guess there
might be a bit of a rush all of a sudden though. I've got to start building
plug-in models, instead of building everything around the motor.
I think the big tender train is actually well worth it as spares for rolling
stock - you get a long and a short wagon base, and several bricks in your
chosen colour.
