I was watching a movie set in Europe yesterday and I realized one of the
reasons they were so willing to go along with that was because that is how
some British trains look. They look like they're set on a baseplate, as
opposed to the seperate decks and drivers of American trains. Of course the
British steamer still had drivers, so TLC still needs to attend to that point.

Definitely. Preferably with a blind center wheel, I should prefer. Less
drag that way.

Little depots and grade crossings, plus a small switch tower would all be
do-able (IMO) for under $20.

Oh yeah! They seem to be doing just that though, thankfully.
