Oops... sorry.  I must have missed that part.  (And I'm showing my
complete lack of knowledge of lego train sets, too...  Curiousity: are
there are lego train sets which _do_ have current-carrying track?  I've
personally never seen _any_ lego train set, so am utterly ignorant of
these things, and assumed they were like standard model trains...)

But a gun that shoots rails _is_ a railgun - but it's defintion 2a,
instead of 1. ;)

See!  I'm right, even if all of my arguments are completely wrong!  :-)
