I just bought an 2003 Toyota Matrix for the same reason. I call it "hers" and let her drive it, but it hauls Lego really well! Rob "James J. Trobaugh" <james@ngltc.org> wrote in message news:H0DDCo.B8y@lugnet.com... (...) the (...) that (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Glad you like them Chris, I have the third one in production now. I agree that he mix wheel count is a pain, but until LEGO makes a 6 wheel engine I'm a bit hosed. Yes GP40T-2 where made, but these really aren't "T" even though that's what (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
