My SOTW is my very first train set, an Warbonnet train set (That's what it's called, Warbonnet Xpress).

| Elvis traveled in style. Graceland layout could be interesting . . . or Tennessee countryside.

This is a Set of the Week "to be"; a small consist of, I think, Hi Rollers Old Time coach and combine cars. I've had one bein' pulled around; two need to be reassembled. I'd been eyein' these cars with regard to having an appropriate consist for the General. I'm thinkin' it's time for General "3.0" (? 4.0 ?) and it could be fun to get some era appropriate brighter colors and do the locomotive and the cars to match. Undecided yet and it's summertime. A couple of these cars were set up with lighting.

Cool. I didn't get the fast mail. Be interesting to see how these 2 sets end up . . . someday. Need to look at some old colors. Seems like those old UK trains were painted up pretty good.

Man, that is a lovely loco, though. Something about British locos...
