Nice.... Congrats to you and Derek....
its a shame that Lego tainted the best 9V train set (IMO) by shipping it
haphazardly..... 10000 Guarded Inn (wrong horse), 10001 Metroliner (Wrong
windows, and wrong hairpiece), 10002 Club Car (messed up instructions)
One must ask what kind of quality control is in place at Lego Direct?
I guess the line "Legends" stands for "Legendary Mistakes"!!!
Oh and I hope you (Iain) and your dad have a great time putting the train
together...
