Something that lots of stores do is buy on of the LGB F7 Clear Bodies and then put whatever decals you want on it. These engines are awesome. We ran them at Disney on our display for the Flower and Grden Show and people really liked them. The lights in the windshield and throughout the lenght of the engine are really cool. It is a "real" engine but is imaginary just as your freight is. Oh, and it goes around R1 turns.

Hi Vic

Yea rightSmile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

But that does sound like a fun idea for those less than serious momentsBig Smile [:D] some one must have done it before

Its to good an idea for no one to have done it.

Doesn't answer the loco question though.

But does give food for thought.

Erhm time to be quiet there getting worseBig Smile [:D]

regards John

HI John

Check around the shops that supply fake food for restaurants, ya know the plastic stuff in the windows? Japanese restaurants are very big on this. If you can find a supplier there, you can find lifelike plastic hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, etc, almost anything and use them as flatcar loads of the McExpress

   Have fun with your trains

Hi lady's and gents

I would like suggestions for the loco's for the "Fast Food Express"

Which so far is all refrigerator cars except for the chocolate tanker.

The catch is it must be able to make it round R1 curves.

No it doesn't have a MacDonald's carDisapprove [V] and unless it's free will not have.

I object to paying for some company to advertise its JUNK food.

Regards John
