Saturday Film Club: Apollo Toys Micro Train Set

This is all Ben Buki's fault. He pointed out that one of these is up for sale on eBay, and I wanted to know more. A quick search brought up this video, and I'll admit, it looks great fun. 

Must resist the auction...

Don't need any more toys... :-)

    A friend of mine back in the 80's was one of the designers of this toy. I bought one and years later I customized the entire layout by painting the scenery and the trains and added trees and "z" scale people. I built a base for it to sit on which insulates the sound a bit. Then I built a plexiglass cover to keep the dust out. Beware there are sets for sale on eBay but at least a couple have no trains included! That ruins the set.
