There has got to be some more whimsey in this hobby. (We • were interviewed
   by the editor of the Aw Nuts! newsletter (Always • whimsical, not usualy
   to scale), and he took some pictures. If it turns into • an article, we'll
   post a note for folks.)

Very cool.

Some scale modelers take their hobby too seriously. • (Remember that some
   of us are modeling in 7- and 8-wide formats, and I've • even seen some
   pictures of 4-wide cars using HO-scale trucks...but those guys at
   LEGOLAND are *too* serious about detail! ;-)

And we don't take LEGO trains too seriously?   :)

It's so colorful. (Unusual colors? Look at the Daylight! :-)

But how many trains use purple and magenta?

Fred Yokel points out "LEGO Trains don't break, they just come
apart, and then you can put them back together"...this is a key
way to word it, so that folks don't hear "break".

Very true. Just look at the mess if an old Lionel train falls
a few feet to
the floor.
