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.
