Larry,
I will be travelling Amtrak in January, from Chicago
to Lincoln, Illinois. If I have a choice, should
I go Metroliner if available??
(sorry everyone! But seeing him in trains reminded me to ask!
Plus, I would have a Lego frame of reference!)
I have been thinking about buying a Lego train, and if so,
would hope to share in the enthusiasm and enjoyment shown
here!
