Last year, I bought a Bachman Spectrum Rock Island train set. Inside, a coupon for their 2003 catalog was the only clue as to the date. After I paid a mechanic to scrape the rock-hard grease out of it, it runs well.
I posted that Rock Island had sunk to a new low by building an underwater railroad east of My Underwater Kingdom. Their motto is "Seaworthy as a Rock!"
