That's pretty darn cool James!  I see you've picked up a few of those
"Green Service Packs". ;-)  You certainly have put them to good use!

BTW: I got my 4559's in the mail Friday.  I'll be stepping off the
deep end in to trains pretty soon.

But the time had come for me to build a train that breaks all boundaries, a
train that can run at full speed on even the toughest of layouts, a train
that makes you say "hmmm". (that could be a good or bad "hmmm").

I would like to introduce the all new Green Machine Racing Train:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=885

This train sits about 1 plate off the track with a very low center of
gravity. It can take a LEGO track curve at full speed with out even the
slightest tilt. I will admit that the center of the train is 8wide, so the
track has to be able to accommodate an 8 wide train. I'm hoping to build a
passenger car for it soon, I just need to acquire some more green neon
windows.

Maybe I'll start a National LEGO Racing Train League, anybody up for the
challenge?
