Larry,

Wow, those are really nice trains! Did you notice the SW cannons on the
older gray train in the middle? Puts most of the trains over the last few
years to shame!

That grey steamer is going to be a gold mine of dark grey parts.

Indeed, and train doors and windows! Blue, red, white. Gosh, my credit cards
are going to melt again. : ) Excuse me for being a naive trainhead here, but
with this digital system, you will be able to operate the points and things
with a PC? That would be really sweet. Also, those partial track sets, what
are those for?

Also, for Mike Stanley... (and other castle heads) did you see what the • farmer
behind the white horse is holding in set 4479(1)?

The peasants will be restless again!

1 - which begs a question, why 44xx? Are we completely out of 45xx slots? • But
if they're using 44xx now, that may imply that they want to be able to • issue
lots more sets over the years.

Is 44xx a basically unused area? Pause doesn't give an easy way to do • blocks of
number searches I don't think, or does it?

Maybe to differentiate from the 9V non-digital, perhaps?

Do tell (in .geek perhaps?)

I wish it was in .geek, but I don't think I have any marketable skills in
computers outside of rudimentary Network Admin until I get my classes in,
and my AutoCad skills, etc.  No, it is my LEGO business endeavor that I have
been working on over the past few months. More details soon! : )
