There was a Train store in the Natick Mall that at one point had an small-scale
(I don't know all the train scales, I want to say this was HO but that could be

with it that I thought seriously about getting into trains just so I could have
an excuse to set it up somewhere.
On another note, though, I have enough purple bricks (about 80 2x3 slopes...
don't ask) that I was seriously trying to figure out how to make a Commuter
Rail train out of them. The stripe would have to run either above or below the
window, though, instead of through them.
