Hi from Lego-man

Legos - one of my all-time favorite toys. I used to have a HUGE box full of them. Beats video games hands down. I used to build trains - their original train system required yoiu to 'handlay' the track - the pieces were rails, both straight and cirved, and the flat pieces to use a ties. Train wheels were the regualr wheels with the rubber tires removed. Now they have a very fancy train system - I've seen some incredible displays at train shows. They also behave a lot like old Lionels - hit a turn too fast and they roll off the track. Unfortunately a trip the the concrete usually results in a whole bunch of Lego shrapnel and a lot of rebuilding to put it all back together again.

Let's hear it for Legos and youthful creativity!
