Anyway, when I saw all the chrome on the new Naboo Fighter I found it
hard not to dream about a shiny Burlington Northern (insert train's name
here) running around my tracks. I though, "Heck, LEGO Direct (LD)
already has a working relationship with BNSF. LD did BNSF's Santa Fe
Super Cheif, why not go back and say, 'Hey, can we do a model of your
Burlington Northern (insert tain's name here)?'"
OK, I doubt it will happen, if it did the train would be *expensive*,
but heck it is fun to dream....
