I'll probably ask for all three for train2, but I think for r9, two might be
adequate. I was pleased with the actual location, very much so.

Hey, Iain did the video, I just brought the PC. BTW, I love FOH stuff, so
its no problem for me.

I think it was cool. It was nice to see thinking out of the box! (even if
the idea of swarming WAS MINE FROM THE VERY START! :)

I notice how the train folks weren't counted in that tally :)

Isn't that the voice of Rob? :)

Dave, (to himself): Because secretly, I'm a Train guy now!

Well, drag racing would be an ideal way to break another RCX :)

Yeah, even I built something.

BTW, seriously, DO NOT break apart the field if you can keep it around at
all possible.

Leave it to Shane, the outsider, to figure it all out.
