And all along I thought that the "B" stood for something else.  Oh, well, as Emily Litella would have said, "Never mind."

It does on my layout. My LPBs came out of an injection molding machine. Their parents weren't married. :geek:

The term " LPB " goes back a long way in Big Blue history.
At one time there was a long dissertation on what the "B" stood for. "L"ittle, and "P"lastic, were always realtively well understood.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.

I wonder if I could get my Life Like LPBs to fit in my Dodge Vipers, or if I should just have them parked together...if I ever get far enough to put roads in

I dunno if I'd put L PBs in a Viper - maybe just sitting in one that's parked, but I was just reading in Car and Driver about Vipers and an issue with hot cabins. LMBs, the em word being Melted.

And yes, they have had the problems with heat since day 1, that comes with such a low car where the exhaust is run down the sidesills of the car rather than under it. Sure does make it fun to get in and out.
Oh, and if you can't tell, I'm a huge Viper nut

No! Really?  Actually, I have to give Chrysler credit (wait, the government did that ) for coming out with the Viper in the first place, and it is an impressive vehicle. I'm kinda partial to that other "snake" car, too, although I wouldn't trade my current ride for either.

Little Plastic Bas ... um ... Beings. :oops: :oops: Why couldn't I figure that out? It was too simple, I guess. My daughter's mother used to tell me the reason she beat me at Scrabble all the time was that I didn't know any small words - I did, but that would have been too simple.
