Sorry swami, you missed the joke. :) (1) The idea he’s referring to isn’t the
crocodile, read the second sentence of the referenced caption again. (then
consider this site: http://www.fgltc.org/bwoabs/trains/blueera/blueera.phtml
as it gives another clue...)
But I do agree the Croc exists in many forms and is well loved.
Hope that helps!
1 - no harm done, I thought he was talking about the croc the first couple of
passes too... it took some careful re-reading to see what was up.

Dammit! I knew I’d missed something :-) Just as it was staring at me in the
face...... I’ve also wondered why lego would make track of that colour. This one
ought to go in the FAQ under ‘why is 4.5 volt track blue?’ It also makes me
wonder wether the pic is just an isolated case or whether ALL the track there is
blue... Maybe I’dve noticed it quicker if the croc wasn’t there to throw me off
track.
On a side note, the crocodiles have to be my favourite electrics; a lot of
people complain about how boring electrics are, but the Crocodile (and other
early electrics in general) are different. In some cases I find them as
interesting as steamers. My first encounter with a crocodile was this beast:

Okay I think I’d better clarify the nickname thing: I know that some people
don’t like these ‘authority’ type nicknames like Lego-pope, lord of the lego
etc, but my nickname actually *is* swami, with reference to:
http://www.swamisamarth.com/ combined with my hobby, it became ‘legoswami’ I
was just lucky to be named after him ;-)
