    Well I just found out that Old Brett is such a purist that historical content of each scale model has to be congruent. Curious to see how he takes this too.

    Although I gave him explicit instructions in my letter with regards to the paint job.

    This could happen.
    Maybe with a Back To The Future twist so it fits in with the era I model.
    That might almost be considered on the ragged edge of the bubble of maybe just outside of cool.

    Your letter, will be saved for all eternity. Or at least until I expire and somebody mistakes it for scrap paper. It is the finest example of @Madjik_Man prose I have ever read.
    The parchment it was written on did not go unnoticed either. It was obviously of the highest quality. The kind that would normally be reserved for royalty. :bowdown:

    I am not concerned that your Prius build has taken precedence over the railroad build, it is, but momentary, as there is only so much you can do to a Prius after the coveted wiper delete mod, other than installing the brick under the accelerator mod to further limit the costly effects of rapid acceleration.
    Eventually somebody will come up with a way to power the little gems solely with the sense of self satisfaction emanating from the driver. :D

    But seriously, that was pretty cool dude. It will find a place on the layout. :cool:

    The heck with the Prius, we are still waiting on Skipping boy Brett into the fog as the main theme of your layout :D

    Ummm..... can you get a Prius to go 88mph? Without that, any thought of accuracy is out the window. :D

    And if they can then I want to see a scale town center with real flames for tire tracks. ;)

    If I start at the top of Einsenhower Tunnel... I bet I can reach 88 mph by Idaho Springs.
