Speaking of which, we *desperately* need a larger radius curve piece.  I'm

realism, etc., if you are going to keep the scale of a toy?  By rights
they *should* create a newer, scale minifig but I'm certainly not going
to hold my breath.  I can live with the wide little fellows quite
easily, but not with their narrow 6 wide trains....
