Trains are on the upsurge as a theme among adults (thanks in large part to
all the clubs and their activities). And this 10020 both confirms the
momentum (why build it if it isn't going to sell?) and will help build that
momentum.
We have a lot of traffic in this newsgroup now, it's great, but it can be a
bit overwhelming. But all of us old hands (I've been a railfan since before
I could read) are happy to share info, so don't apologise for asking! Just
bear with US as we may not always be as amazed about certain things (that
we've "always" known) as you are.
