It's OT after all - Warren Buffet never got a train set for Christmas

Isn't this just the realization of one of Model Railroader's April Fool's stories from a few years ago - the building of a 1:1 scale model of a railroad - the Wisconsin Central, IIRC?

Warren Buffet to his son:

"What do you want for your birthday this year"

"A computer"

So he buys him IBM.

Next year he asks him aagain.

"A train set"

So he buys him BNSF.

Next year he asks hin again.

"A cowboy outfit"

So he buys him Microsoft.
