My AOTW is a Lone Star London Bus from the 1970's and 1980's. I found it in my grandparent's basement a few years ago in a bin filled with old Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars.

Sean; A nice collection of Weston figures. Quite a varied lot.
* I once put a figure in a Marx automatic watchman building. I used a small piece of spring brass as a pick up point for power. As a wheel ran across it , pressure would push it down to touch the rail and pick up power to actuate the figure in the building. This worked fine, just every wheel did this and the speed of the train and the number of wheels determined how many times this little person would exit and return to the building. I had to disconnect it before something broke.
