I don't think I *can* do another show between now and Xmas. Not only can I
not afford the space to store the buildings, I can't spend the time - I
*have* to do some money-earning activity or not eat :-). ANyway I have
already demolished the town hall and the airport, sorted them and put them
away!

The kids have seen him on TV, in books, a movie came out recently, there's
umpteen spinoff toys of him... they all know him. So I gues he's something
recognisable among the strangeness of trains. And to tell the truth, for
small kids, scale model railroads are pretty boring.

Well, 3 Metroliner's worth: 2 locomotive/end cars, 3 middle passenger cars,
maybe a club car and/or baggage car. That's 6 or 7 cars. Ans we could
easilly do a 4561 with 4 or 6 cars behind a decent size engine.
