Wayne,
I love the passenger cars. I just have one suggestion. The red in the
stripe doesn't quite fit the engine. Using the 6 by 28 train bases, still
at S@H for $3,
http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?id=%7BB8A170DC%2DE321%2D466E%2DA78E%2D7ADB4C5D52DA%7D
would widen the stripe. Hope to see them in person soon.
