this is actually the very first time I visit the HP group. The reason? To
ask the question about the HE and 9 V conversions.
I was hesitant to order one, as the describtion on the S@H website states
that the train will not run on Lego Track. But having read this thread, I'm
ready to order one.
My bank is gonna hate me for this; the Statue of Liberty is already in my
Shopping Cart :-)
