“A sensitive author could do something with #7 or #8. Be sympa-

figure with acrylic paints for easy cleanup. Where can you buy the
paint? Hobby shop? Michael's? Wal-Mart? Choose an O or G scale

could be a good thing.”
Great thoughts, Mike.
Potential author alert! Would any of you out there consider send-

If so, we’re interested.
