With that big new unobtainium strike at Clark's Bears deep underground, close to the Pemi River, there, you better be believ'n those freight hopper cars, all loaded down with very valuable unobtainium will be roll'n down the Winnipesaukee shoreline rail line, all twelve months of the year.

The Unobtainium Express will be roll'n freight cars loaded heavy with unobtainium, moving it from Lincoln NH to Portsmouth NH and thence onto a freighter ship, and thence to all seven continents, world-wide.

Unobtainium, mined deep under Lincoln and North Woodstock NH is a highly valuable export that will totally fix our import-export deficit, all by it unobtainium self! ...... such a valuable export ...... unobtainium! .......

Patriot Rail, new owner/operator of Hobo and Winnipesaukee Railroads should redo and spiff up the exterior look of all their passenger cars and engines.

Suggest they get some design inspiration from the www.thecog.com/cogcam to help make it a very happening tourist railroad.

Leo's Party Caboose is great just the way it is, but all the other cars and engines could definitely use a colorful, 1885 Victorian era design motif with a different look for each rail car. The Cog has different passenger cars which are bright yellow, purple, and pink with 1885 style design accents.

No doubt the interiors can use a major redo as well? ......
