Tom,
Perhaps I have come to understand only one meaning of that statement, or
perhaps I don't see it as racist. Either way, it was not meant as a racial
slur.
Also, I think that Lar was referring to not wanting the train _door_ from the
5571, since it would only look right on one of the Miniland trains. The
window from the 5571 would be up for bid. Of course, it comes with clear
glass instead of lt. blue, but we trainiacs take anything we can get.
Mike
