They also have the long hair and soulful gazes into middle distance that denote that they are thoughtful and sensitive, conveying the side of DeLonge that was too soft even for Boxcar Racer. In this incarnation, he, as well as his Angels (and his Airwaves, I suppose), will hold your hand, look deep into your eyes, listen to your troubles, and soothe you with lines like “I will pick you up, like you for I, I thought this thing...

Coincidence...

Both places are sold out until the new year, although a customer-service manager chirpily tells me that if I'm patient, she will send me a free holiday boxcar with Santa on top to put under the tree. Frantic, I dial hobby shops across the country. Nobody has the train, and some owners share theories why. Although none blame the scarcity on Lionel's recent bankruptcy, two shopkeepers tell me that workers in China, where the sets are made, are getting back...
