Scroll down to 4th from the bottom paragraph in the article.

I'm envisioning giant magnets on the ends of Flagg Coal 75 and various passenger cars..........

Just don't mix up the polarities, or you'll launch the coach through the bumpers and into the parking lot....

OK. OK. I get it. I meant Brio in the gift shop, not twelve inches to the foot. Ha. Ha.

No, I think the article DID mean 12" to the foot Brio, or at least something big enough for the kids to play In, rather than on:

Quote:
The Building for Kids is opening a new exhibit May 29 called "Let's Play Railway," a giant replica of BRIO Wooden Toys' famous wooden toy engine, cattle wagon and caboose.


The way to sell Brio, I think, is to have a "Brio pit" where the kids can play with it while the adults shop. It seems to work well in hobby shops.
