Sometimes I forget why I build trains; what started it all for me.

12 years old.  John, that's how old I was when I received my most favoured
LEGOR(R) train set-- set #7740.  I'd lived in England at age 11-- saw the

surprise birthday present I ever got.

that will soon pass.

Like it or not, here's the current state of my tilting British Rail APT set.
The instructions are a bit non-linear, but it is the best I have time for in
the moment.

Hope this helps in some manner or another...always building toward a better
train!

later,
James Mathis
