I would love to add more cars. I was able to pick up another 6497 on sale
Sun. Now all I need is some time....
(I originally just put the shovel on the engine just because I like Fabuland
type shovels. I decided if any one asked me about it I would have to come up
with a "story". So... version 1.... Engineer, srabbit, gets hungry often and
likes to have a ready shovel in order to more easily dig up carrots for a
snack. Carrots grow wild and are bountiful in her area. Version 2.... the
fv55 runs on anything and everything- like the car in one of the later Back
to the Future movies. When it runs out of fuel and stops, the engineer gets
out, puts in one shovel full of something/anything and continues on her merry
way. In Fabuworld almost anything is possible. ( of course, it "burns"
clean, can't have Pollution in FW.)
