Well you didn't really miss too much. Doug's father was in town for the 'train show" and was hoping for the "gold caboose" award. He opened a metal attache case that held a Lionel steam engine - less tender - that he hoped to win the contest with. At the show the father was seen operating a Lionel layout. There was another one behind him. Father had to leave to pay attention to his wife, and he let Doug run his trains for the first time in his life. When Doug was little the dad would not let him touch the trains because "he didn't have a license". So Doug ran the train using the ZW transformer at full speed. It rounded a corner, derailed ,showering the scenery with sparks. This caused the layout to burst into flames. Doug was in deep do-do. That's about it as I remember! <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
