Any of you guys ever get an invite to the MELCO train?
They had 2 cars. A luggage car with washer, dryer, diesel powerplant water holding tanks. And everything that Melco made, mounted on 1 wall so they could demo and you could play with it.
Then they had an observation car with 2 bedrooms and a full mini kitchen, Oh, and a VERY hospitable bar! If I recall correctly, they said they had enough fuel and water to survive for 1 week, as long as they had access to a grocery source.
And, of course, some kid set fire to it while it was 'at home' in Washington state. The whole thing was a tax write off, and I was told the owner of Melco was a train nut. I get jealous thinking about it today!
