Larry,
Oh no, I appreciate all the information you have on these trains. I just never
investigated them until recently, just to get a better idea of everything.
Knowing that there are some very knowledgeable people on Lugnet and the like, I
know they could point me to more information, so I thank you. You might even see
a Lego version of the GT one soon, if our socialist brothers don't confiscate
our collection! :)
