Well, if you really feel the need to impress Larry for some strange reason,
you could always try to fit a red micro-motor into a freight car of some sort.

I had a four-wide "critter" locomotive with a micro-motor in it.  Ran fine,
but vvveeerrryyy slow...  And unfortunately I took it apart a few weeks ago,
or I'd post a few pictures!  <sigh>

One question though, can you use the narrow rail spacing around corners?
For some reason I think it should work, but I haven't had a chance to try it
yet.
