Make believe?? Good, that means their really was no Lady Elaine Fairchilde - that thing was just plain creepy! But on the flip side, now I'm bummed that Mr. McFeely will never be delivering my mail.

Seriously, princess, what do you have from the trolley?

Ive got a few things, remnants really, a few structures, some of the track, some people, and a couple cars. The structures are actually shown in that first video and are pretty cool. One of my relatives that passed away from cancer in PA recently worked on the set back in the day. Discovered the box with all the parts in it and it stated on the outside "spare/backup HO scale parts-set of FMR" we think that means Fred McFeely Rogers aka Mr. Rogers. We knew he worked around the set at one time and has always been in the business. He worked behind the camera and originally started out as a gofor/maintenance man after vietnam from what I understand and worked his way up over the years in TV before finally venturing out on his own opening his own photography business. He sold it and retired when he found out he had cancer. He was a collector and had a ton of junk.

Don't worry. Every story from the princess has a certain underlying quality. Especially when we're discussing Mr. McFeely's trolley.
