So, naturally, I was prompted to compare the MOT green Passenger Wagon
and the Metroliner cars.  Wow, what a difference.  I can see why folks

Like Dave and Derek, I got my yellow-labelled box of happiness in the mail recently. Among other things, it contained my first Club Car and my first Metroliner. I built the club car Tuesday night, and the Metroliner last night. On Tuesday, I also (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
