TT489 Manchester Station Diorama: "... about not building a train to
Manchester."

Is general knowledge and English-language usage now so sparse that it
no longer differentiates between *train* as a moving vehicular
collection and the physical infrastructure needed for carriage (oops,
that'll confound 'em even further)?

I'd like to build a car to somewhere... Carstairs especially would be
a step up!

(Either Scotland or Alberta... I'm not picky.)

<howl>

There's a 1981 movie from Aotearoa New Zealand entitled "Goodbye Pork
Pie" which features a yellow Mini.

What transpires is a comedic car chase/lesson in Kiwi geography. When
the action reaches Wellington, the protaganists "zip" the car into a
railway goods van (yeah, yeah... I know Wonkypedia sez boxcar) to be
transported by then NZR's rail and ro-ro ferry to Picton in the South
Island.

From vague memory, the *filmed action* took place on Wellie's Platform
9.
