The Writers' Cafe

The Writers' Cafe: "stayed at that rented house for a good three years. Eventually of course the train set lost all of the luster associated with it’s being new. Like all new things, the train set eventually got old.
If you really think about it there really is not much a train set can do.

The locomotive had an authentic whistle, I guess the dynamic duo handling the engine’s speed also took care of the whistle. Come to think of it there may have been a small push button on the transformer that made the locomotive whistle. Train sets are really boring anyway, they just keep going around the same set of tracks over and over again. Who really cares if some cool helicopter ever launched or not. Flipping baseball cards in the school yard was so much more fun."
