Okay, we're ready for you to add the water and show us the results. [:D] This will definitely be a major highlight for this forum. [:)]

Thanks, Jack [bow]

Well, the upside is if it doesn't live up to its promise, you can always put it in an old blender and make yourself some ground foam...

Just one question, Jack: where the heck did you FIND that?

"Drop capsules in warm/hot water and create two trains, each measuring over one foot in length."

...makes you wonder if this was the inspiration for Viagra...

Got any more of these, Jack?
Small Layouts are cool! Low post counts are even more cool! NO GRITS in my pot!!!

Very humorous, Jack.

Actually, one could use clay to make a train mold in which you would add resin

I have a four year-old son and we can't EVER go into a grocery store or drug store without looking for the toy aisle. I found these in a Walgreen's drug store. They are little capsules that like Jim noticed, when dropped in water they SPROUT--eh-hmm, and little foam train cars come out.

If you look closely at the back, they actually make a circus train. If any of you want one, email me and I'll see about getting one out to you. I'll have look to see if they have more. They also had instant dinosaurs and instant farm animals. Makes one wonder if they have instant women for sale in adult stores[:D][:D]
