Thanks Paul! I guess old habits die hard. I just rarely ever think to
post to .announce.moc. I guess I'll go do that now.

Again, thanks for your compliment, but I don't know if this box car is

I tend to make my engines big. Not only do I make them wider and longer
than LEGO engines, but they tend to be taller too. You know though...
you could always come over to the dark side :)
