That is familar, to what I watched in the US ... The Little Racals
and then some local show at the local TV station ...When home ,it
was something else local, then either the show...most popular with
2 movies and a cartoon...poor manager...or we did something else.
I remember them too...I think I had something like that ...but now...
ooooooh no...might get shot, or arrested or some rights group member
would go beserek.

I liked Lionel. I had the diesel model and wow was it a size ....but
a burst pipe and floating, and it was no more. The transformer fried
and it was stored in the basement, until I could get the transformer
when the pipe burst..basement was a swimming pool.
Ok on the "John Bull". There was another one imported, and I guess
they all got a makeover like the John Bull.
Will have to look at the Big Boy when I get sometime.

Hmmmm ... yeah.
I heard about Florida, and even claims by european countrys on the
sunken or lost treasures on their ships, lost in storms or to pirates.
Glad ou keep intouch with Glen ...I get a few from him.
Oh BTW ... the flight sim comment in your email, regarding MHD @WW
was in answer to Ian's comments also in MHD@WW about the A380
and how modern it is...cutting edge.
