Hi Richard!

I really did go searching for playmo trains today, but my shop either didn't have any, or it was so crowded, I just wasn't seeing it.

Just as well, the little guy is getting LOTS of blue boxes for Christmas.

Hello, Mal ...

As you probably already know, unless you want Playmobil's RC, you won't find any more electric trains from Playmobil.

You might want to look at LGB's Toy Trains for your locos and use Playmobil for your rolling stock.

DH decided if we got Playmobil, then we'd want the RC trains ... BUT after much flip-flopping, I finally decided on non-Playmo trains.  The plan is to have an all-year-round garden train, and it would break my heart to see the Playmo trains get weather damaged. 

So, as a last minute suprise, I bought a g-scale Christmas train for DH and the little guy.  I'll sneak into the little guy's room and set the train up on Christmas Eve, hopefully going 'round the Santa's Castle if I get enough time to complete it.  We have X10, so I'll put it on a timer to start up at an appropriate time on Christmas morning.

That moving train must be one the best uses I've seen of the "marquee" tag, Richard. ;D
Ranks up there with the parading birthday belly dancers. ;)

 :lol: That's why you don't want DH coming to help you set up your trains ... if it can be over-engineered, he'll do it  ;D

We have a saying at work, "Are you crazy? Don't ask him, he'll tell you!!" ;)  :P  Luckily, he's pretty good-natured about it.  ;D

My Husband has a similar quality.

You should see the setup for the chameleon.
But, it does make the lizard easy to care for.

Richard, your train is wonderful.  But where is the caboose?

A CABOOSE?  You want a caboose?
