Yes, yes. I should have stated it better. Maybe if it is viable to run it in
a show, great. If not, it would be better to continue to test it and tweak
it before the show, since we will not have a lot of time to do that kind of
thing, as you know Kai.

Indeed. Just to give you some ideas, and suggestions, so if you can get it,
it might become a standard everywhere. When you do include a train layout, I
am planning a two track train station, whihc will be branched off the main
two lines, so think about that a little.
