Teaching Strands

## ENC 1101 - Strand IV: Expression Through Narrative , Analysis, & Argument

I have chosen to work
with strand IV of ENC 1101 because I believe that its structure of narrative,
analysis, and argument, is highly applicable to students work in an academic
setting as well as flexible enough to have them develop composition skills that
they can use in fields outside of school and with many audiences. I see that
the structure of asking them to create a narrative, analyze a text, and write a
persuasive essay is going to prepare them for much of the work that they will
be asked to do as they progress through their own college careers. What’s more,
think think that there is the possibility to create a class design in which students are asked
to work with a single topic through the whole of the semester; each individual
project can function as a shift in how they are composing about a subject while they
stay on topic and learn to develop a recursive writing process. I think that by creating a through line for the whole class I can focus the class on developing my students writing process to include revision, like I
have discussed in my teaching philosophy and read in the work of scholars such as
Shipka. By the end of the semester they will have had the opportunity to work through what can be viewed as the same work but revised multiple times and into multiple forms.

## ENC 2135 - Strand III: Three Ways to Approach Genre

In
my teaching philosophy is articulated a heavy interest in having my students
work to develop an understanding and ability to work with genre. As such, it should
be no surprise that I have chosen to work in stand III for ENC 2135. I was
particularly drawn to how I can create class that asks students to start the
semester by reading different genres and understanding how they function with
an analytical paper before moving on to a teaching a research paper as genre –
specifically asking early work in the project to be paired with
research that I will give them as examples of what the genre they are being asked to
produce is. Finally, the project in three genres will ask students to shift
their earlier work into different genres, as I suggested in my response to
Devitt’s article, and reflect on how the shift changed their work’s content. I
think this is the perfect stand to focus my students on the idea of genre and
how it effects all the texts they read.

In 1987, Takakisaki earned his Doctorate in Cementology, a newly established degree available exclusively to many universities in Japan. Shortly after, Takakisaki formed TSI, Takakisaki International, the holding company of Takakisaki Cement Company.

Dr. Mr. Takakisaki's college roommate is Professor Dr. Xi Wangdong.
Lizardmen

The Lizardmen are a species of sentient Lizards from the planet Galapagos IV. The name of their home planet is unpronounceable in lizard tongue. Most of their surnames are too. They are known to take mundane human names instead preferring that over hearing a human butcher their names in an attempt to pronounce it.

In the time of Against Me, Will they are widely regarded as the most despised sentient alien species. The most despised un-sentient species award goes to Firanium, erroneously thought to be the carrier of Space Syphilis.
Polwier

**Polwier** (oficjalnie POLWiER, Polski Outlet Lekko Wolnych i Ekologicznych Radach) - polska sieć supermarketów, najgroźniejszy rywal Biedronki.

## Historia

Polwier została założona w 1986 roku jako POLWiER. Oczywiście zaczęło się rozwijać produkty z innych krajów (np. Milky Way, Kinder Niespodzianka, Milka). W 1993 roku ze względu na śmierć właściciela przejmował jego syn, Anastazy, i zmieniono nazwę na Polwier.

### MŚ 2006

Z mistrzostwami świata w 2006 roku sieć sklepów wprowadziła akcję "Mistrzostwa Świata 2006", zachowując oryginalną nazwę, podobnie jak w 2018 roku Biedronki "Dumni z naszych", ale inna nazwa.

### Karty Mistrzostwa Maskotek (Europejskich)

W 2013 roku, ze względu na mistrzostwa, firma Polwier wprowadziła promocję MME 2013. Później pojawiły się kolejne, dodając więcej zawodników, MM 2015, MM2017. Ostatecznie w 2019 roku wprowadziła nowe żetony, ze względu na mniejszą ilość zawodników na MM 2019.

### Świeżaki

Mimo rozpoczęcia akcji Gang Świeżaków 2, sieć sklepów postanowiła zrobić nową akcję, co okazało się szałem, nazywała się "Polwieraki. Akcja się rozpoczęła 28 sierpnia 2017, dodając wszystkie świeżaki z pierwszej edycji (oprócz Banana Bruna i Borówki Basi). Rok później, ze względu na nową akcję Biedronki "Gang Słodziaków", Polwier wprowadziła drugą edycję "Polwieraki 2". Wprowadzono 27 sierpnia 2018, a nowymi świeżakami są Groszek Grześ, Seler Szymon, Czosnek Czesio, Wiśnie Wojtek i Wiktor i Papryka Paulina. 1 sierpnia sieć postanowiła zapowiadać akcję "Polwieraki 3". Świeżakami będą: Kalafior Krzyś, Rzodkiewka Żaneta, Arbuz Artur i Ananas Adam.

Omniverse

An omniverse is a set of realities containing -verses that have laws of physics that run the gamut from mundane to spectacularly out of the ordinary and hostile. An omniverse must contain at least two multiverses to be considered as such. We live in Omniverse 65, as it is called by many empires. In our omniverse, there are uncountable multiverses

## Omniverse

### Description

Many imaginable and unimaginable, habitable and uninhabitable realities exist in this kind of -verse

### Size

Any value of ω; ω^ω, ω\*2, ω+9 are all valid sizes of an omniverse. Obviously it is bigger than any multiverse, but not all omniverses are the same size

### Rulers

None, omniversal empires, and sometimes entities

## Summary

> Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
>

### Week 1

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The Torpedo Run

**The Torpedo Run**is the third book of the first series of Great Railway Adventures. It was also available in audiobook form on cassette tape, with three songs being included.

## Synopsis

Tuck and Billie ride the maiden voyage of the Torpedo, the fastest train on Earth, for a triumphant reunion with their parents.

## Plot

Picking up where *The President Express* left off, Thaddeus Winterbottom takes Maynard Henry, Tuck Holden, Billie Holden and their dog Chief into a locomotive shop that is about as large as a aeroplane hangar. There they are introduced to the *Torpedo*, a streamlined Pennsylvania Railroad K4 numbered 3768 which is due to leave on her maiden run in the dead of night with a train of private passenger cars to create a genuine surprise from the civilians attending the world's fair. Before they leave, Billie fiddles with a black knob that completely covers Mr. Winterbottom in a cloud of steam, but he manages to laugh it off stating that "historic occasions often have rocky beginnings". Shortly afterwards, the *Torpedo*leaves for New York, rocketing on a total speed of 100 mph. Billie is even given a chance by Mr. Henry to blow the engine's whistle before going to bed.

The next day, unfortunately, proves to be a stressful one, for the *Torpedo* is waylaid at a bridge by a nosy photographer named Scoop Jackson and his brute of an assistant, Tiny. Mr. Winterbottom argues with Mr. Jackson, but it proves to be no use as he plans to take pictures of the *Torpedo* and print them to the papers before anyone else can (hence why he is named Scoop). Knowing that the unneeded stop will only prolong their opportunity to be alongside their parents at the Invention of Tomorrow contest, Tuck remembers the steam release knob and tricks Scoop into taking a photograph of the *Torpedo's* wheels. This causes the two men to fall into the river below them, allowing the *Torpedo* and her crew to escape.

Arriving at the World's Fair at last, Tuck and Billie are unable to find their parents and must blow the *Torpedo's* whistle in order to attract them. Mr and Mrs. Holden hear the whistle and are reunited with their children. Rushing back to the contest, the dome car does not win (the award going to a television set) but it does receive a blue ribbon and as a result of this, Mr. Winterbottom offers the Holdens, Chief and Mr. Henry a favor to work for him on his line.

The trilogy ends five years later in 1944 with the cast riding on the dome car's very first transcontinental run.

## Audiobook

The audiobook adaptation of *The Torpedo Run*was included on a cassette tape that was sold with a copy of the physical book. It was narrated by LeVar Burton and included three songs performed by Red Grammer.

The Space Catholics

By the time of Against Me, Will, the catholic church has spread out throughout the galaxy, just as many religions new and old have. When a catholic church is christened on a new planet, they must petition the church and wait fourteen years before they can be considered canonical. Assuming no major scandals occur during this time, the petition is accepted. During this probational period they are referred to derogatorily as Space Catholics to distinguish between the official church.

Often these churches are created with Landscaping 3D printers to look exactly like churches used to look on Old Earthh. Eeven whole sections of old Earth towns have been recreated.

With the planet based Catholic church recently undergoing another round of scandals, many new churches often forgo the application and continue to call themselves Space Catholics in order to give the appearance of probationary caution.

Recently Catholic nuns have begun to get riled up in preparation for another round of The Penguin Wars..
Episode 13

## Episode 13: Hibernation

Karl is awakened from hibernationby Doctor Witget in a strange medical facility far from home. Karl learns of Steve's fate while being questioned by the Interrogator. His lawyer / priest the esteemed Father Pedro Mendici is of little help fending off a difficult questioning. Fred is brought in to verify a friendship between he and Karl but Karl's hibernation has brought on confusion.

Watch the whole episode on Youtube. ,
The Clonicide

The Clonicide is a galaxy wide purge of clones that was initiated after the cloning facility on Ditto II was left unattended for twenty cycles, pumping out clone after clone derived from the galactic DNA banks. No one knows how many clones survived the clonicide as no one really knows exactly how many clones were pumped out of the cloning facilities.

The only surviving large group of clones is on Ditto III.

To this day, killing a clone is not considered a crime.
Doctor Widget

## Character

Doctor Widget should never have been a doctor. He has almost zero bedside manner, doesn't seem to really care much if his patients live or die, openly lies to patient's families and is drunk beyond functioning ninety percent of the time. On second thought, perhaps doctor was the right choice after all.

He also seems to be pretty lax about cannibalism and assault.

His patients include The Earl of Bottom Feeder and most recently Karl and Steve. He is currently assigned as ship's doctor aboard the Federated star ship the Guantopolis.
Orange Log Car

The orange log car was a piece of rolling stock released in the Great Railway Adventures Wooden Series by Learning Curve in 1999.

## Trivia

* This item is a clearly repainted version of the Henry's Forest Log Car from 1999/ the Sawmill Log car from the Thomas Wooden Railway line
* According to John Benitez in his book, Collecting wooden character trains: Prices, Popularity, and Collect-ability, the average price for an orange log car new in box was $34 in 2008

* The Orange Log Car Product Catalog number was 91600
* Strangely, in the catalog photo, the Orange Log Car is missing its logs
Guantopolis

The Guantopolis has had a long and glorious history dating all the way back to the Second War of Recap. The ship was integral in the retrieval of hostages and ending the Plague of Backstory.

By the time of Against Me, Will however, the ship is nearing the end of its useful life. The Federated expect that the ship will be lost in space at some point thereby nullifying any insurance claims. True to its reputation the Guantopolis has so far beaten the odds.

The ship is now mostly manned by out of work actors so really it's only a matter of time.

Current captain is Captain Steven Archibald.
Turk the Mechanical Dog

Not much is known of Turk. He's a talking mechanical dog built by an unknown creator. By the time of Against Me, Will he is being held captive in a space zoo in the same cell with Karl. He can't remember his real name but Karl calls him Turk because it's the sound his left hind leg makes when he raises it to wee.
Captain Steven Archibald III

Steve Archibald III has a rather mysterious past that the show has so far little gone into.

By the time of episode ten, Steve has had a mental breakdown. He believes he can sense unseen beings that control their every movement. Giving into the idea, he decides to become an actor and allow others to direct his every move for reals.

It's during rehearsals for his sevent role as a Santorian he forms an unlikely friendship with his lizardman costar Karl. Seemingly unprovoked, Karl attacks him during rehearsals for the play Against Me, Will believing Steve hateful of Liazardmen. Steve maintains he is not.

The next few months are a blur as Steve comes in and out of a medically induced coma. Finally healed, he decides to start yet another new life aboard a federated Star Ship. The only one close enough that would accept an actor with little ship real experience is The Guantopolis. Steve joins and is soon promoted to captain when the original captain comes down with a mysterious illness known colloquially as Space Syphilis.

With half the crew dead he sets off to pick up the doctor he had gotten to know while in hospital and an unlikely cohort: Karl the lizard man who put him in there.

By the end of season one, Steve has a mental breakdown while facing court-martial for making bad decisions, endangering the Guantopolis and losing members of his crew. We last see him resting in an asylum but all may not be as it seems.
Fredrick Sebastian Talbot

As episode eleven begins, Fred seems to be a relatively mild mannered reporter for the Intergalactic News Network. He is assigned to interview the leader of the cult The Dogs of War at the time called The Songs of Jim. Whatever happened in the course of that interview really seems to have set Fred's life off the rails. On top of that, Fred discovers that his childhood friend Karl has been arrested. His news casting costar calls him out for his erratic behavior and Fred admits live on air to repeated and persistent drug use. It turns out to be Fred's final news broadcast.

With little prospects and his only friend Karl imprisoned Fred sets out to join the ranks of a federated star ship and ends up on the Guantopolis. The captain quickly takes him under his wing. During a particularly rambunctious shore leave, the captain comes down with an especially virulent case of Space Syphilis. When the captain dies, Fred is passed over in favor of Steve who quickly makes Fred first officer to secure his loyalty.

As it turns out, Fred has led a... shall we say, an interesting life. Every episode of Against Me, Will seems to point to another sordid chapter of Fred's life. So far we've learned that Fred is not a:

* Discerning Cannibal

* Committed Rapist
* Verdant Necrophiliac

In addition it is rumored that Fred is being considered for Sainthood by the Space Catholics.

After an incident involving fried chicken in a cafeteria in a space port on the planet Nimbus Four, Fred has endured years of psychological pain and suffering . The details are sketchy but this incident seems to be a contributing factor in Fred's distrusting nature of anyone who likes fried-chicken. At least Fred seems to think it is since he's blamed many of his own failures as a news-caster on what the crew of the Guantopolis call "fried-chicken gate".

By the end of season one of Against Me, Will, Fred, having completely lost his memory due to brain injury (which has happened to him twice before), is engaged in a new job: maintenance man for a church belonging to the Space Catholics. Recent intelligence reports suggest Fred is currently undergoing Hypnotic Regression treatment that has uncovered a past "tea-bagging" incident.

Let's hope his memory of fried-chicken gate has also been purged from his mind so Fred can (finally) move on.

First Appearance: Episode 11
100th Anniversary Train Pack

The **100th Anniversary Train Pack** is a commemorative product designed to celebrate the centennial of Lionel's establishment.

## Includes

* Santa Fe Engine
* Anniversary Coal Tender
* Anniversary Dome Car

## Trivia

* The Santa Fe engine is reworked from the standard Great Railway Adventures engine design, seen on vehicles such as The Torpedo and The Daylight. Likewise, the Anniversary Coal Tender and Anniversary Dome Car are reworked from the Cling-Clang Coal Car and Bright Lights Dome Car respectively.
Against Me, Will (Play)

With roots way back into the days of Old Earth, the play Against Me, Will has had a long and lustrous history. Part of it has been put on by college ***repertoire***groups as a showcase for up and coming actors. It's been used as a subversive statement against government overreach, a cautionary tale of the dangers of reclusive revolutions, anmong many others. Its most relevant staging was an idictment of the abuses of Resevoir 6  which resulted in the deaths of all of the actors and directors involved. They are still remembered as martys among many ring worlds.

In its basic form, it involves a charismatic underdog waging war against a brutal populist uprising.

By the time of the setting of Against Me, Will the web series, the play has been relegated to the annals of cheap dime-store theater basically used when local creative groups can't afford better regarded plays.
The Penguin Wars

The Penguin Wars started with a war in 2033 between penguins and nuns. The origins are a bit murky by the time of Against Me, Will. The hostilities were ended when a penguin got a nun pregnant. The result was the human/penguin hybrid little furry Pengu-anne.

There have since been seventeen different wars. And it looks like another is about to start up.
Episode 16

## Awakenings

Includes another broadcast from the Recappers.

Karl awakens from hibernation once again. This time it really was forced upon him. Thought Steve awoke from his coma months ago, Karl is forced to leave the planet. Luckily a ship has come to pick them both up: The Guantopolis.

Watch the whole episode on Youtube.
Against Me, Will

Against Me, Will is a weekly live improv (mostly) science fiction web series streamed live on twitch utilizing a green-screen, CGI and old-school action figures. All episodes are subsequently uploaded to Youtube.

## Overview

The first 9 episodes were a largely unremarkable dramatic storyline. All those episodes are lost and will at some point be remade. By episode 10, after losing one of the actors and main writers, Against Me, Will was retooled as a science fiction series.

Set several hundred years in the future. the human race by the time of Against Me, Will has expanded outward far into the galaxy. Earth itself is no longer inhabited due to a series of natural disasters. At least that's the accepted government explanation.

In episode 10, Karl and Steve are actors working on a new production of old standard play Against Me, Will. During rehearsals Karl, disturbed by Steve's inherent specism against Lizardmen, lashes out at him. While it seemed to be a relatively innocuous strike, Steve soon loses consciousness and spends several episodes in a coma.

In episode 11, we learn that Karl has been arrested and charged with savagely attacking a human being. This episode introduces the character of Fredrick Sebastian Talbot, a newscaster who goes by the name Fred who also happens to be friends with Karl.

Karl is put into hibernation to await trial. Meanwhile, Steve recovers and decides to pursue a life aboard a spaceship instead of acting. Soon Fred, forced out of his newscaster job, ends up on the same ship, the Guantopolis as him. Together they plan to rescue Karl offering him a position on the ship instead of permanent banishment. Karl reluctantly agrees.

The trio are soon exploring the galaxy....

Bill always seems to be one step ahead of the crew of the Guantopolis putting them constantly at odds.

Also known as Your Cultiness, he makes his first appearance in episode 11.
Episode 20

## The Recappers Must Die

After the last mission's payout goes to the clone Recappers instead of his crew, the Captain has had enough. The new mission is to pay a visit to the recappers and make them stop recapping, one way or another. With that in mind he takes an interrogator along with him.

The final appearance of the Recappers, this episode ends the story arc of the clones.

Watch the whole episode on Youtube.
Arghrajarg "Karl " Rrghrge

Karl has spent most of his uneventful life as a middling underpaid actor. It was only with his casting in the renowned play Against Me, Will on the remote underpopulated third moon of Ring Bear in the Axios system where his life turned upside down.

He came to find the other actors were paid more than him even though he had the bigger role attributing the discrepancy to a discrimination against lizard people instead of the financial error that it was. Steve, a fellow thespian, seemed to inflame his anger and bore the brunt of an angry crazed Lizard Man who probably didn't realize the extent of his own strength during rehearsals.His costume not fitting probably didn't help.

Steve succumbed to his wounds, ending up in a coma and Karl was arrested during a hibernation he maintains was forced upon him. Upon waking he was offered two choices: a life in prison or banishment from the moon with an assignment aboard the space ship Guantopolis as a science officer. He accepts the assignment.

The trouble is Karl knows little of science...

By the end of season one of Against Me, WIll Karl is being held captive in what seems to be an intergalactic zoo. Even though his cell mates Turk, a talking mechanical dog, and Derek, a primitive but talking lizard have tried to explain the situation to him he has thus far resiliently not believed them.
Dwarf and Troll

Dwarf and Troll are a couple of mercenaries for hire. They do odd jobs for criminal gangs but can't ever get ahead because Dwarf keeps using all their money for prostitutes. There's a rumor that he was the only person to have fucked Fire and lived to tell of it.

If there's one thing Dwarf is good at, it's holding a grudge. He meets our heroes on a remote planet and dwarf is knocked over by Fred. They later run into Fred, steal his stuff and leave him to die of exposure in the desert. Dwarf later removes the skin from Karl's legs in order to make lizard skin boots.

Troll on the other hand is well mannered, polite and a pacifist. He does his best to keep Dwarf out of trouble, most of the time failing spectacularly.
Episode 14

## Steve's Fate

The episode begins with the first introduction of a new set of characters called the Recappers. Jealous clones, they send out a video attempting to explain some of the activities of the people they've been cloned from. With the hope of one day taking their place.

Steve is still in a coma as Doctor Witget attempts to "comfort" his wife Elaine. In an effort to convince her that Steve is indeed dead (he wasn't) he brings in Father Mendici and pretends that he too is a doctor as well as a lawyer and a priest.

Steve briefly wakes from his coma at the end of the episode.

This is the only time we've seen or heard of Steve's long-time girlfriend Elaine.

Watch the whole episode on Youtube.
The Federated

The Federated is a loose collection of corporations, bureaucracies and unaffiliated criminal gangs. The nebulous regulating committee, known as The Senate, control the outfitting and recycling of ships and have ultimate approval of assigned personnel. By the time of Against Me, Will they are notoriously lax. It's rare for a captain to get a refusal even for criminal history and mutiny, depending on the ship. Older ships in danger of becoming a liability are routinely mismanaged and lost in a way that people rarely are brave enough to call deliberate.

The least famous Federated ship is the Guantopolis.
Recappers

The Recappers are a group of clones who survived the Clonicide. They live on the planet Ditto and they desperately attempt to take credit for the things the people they were cloned from have done. They are so good at it that they sometimes get credits meant for the originals. They are considered a blight on cloning and in general a nusiance.

Captain Steve of the Guantopolis puts an end to their recapping in episode 20, The Recappers Must Die.

Killing them is not considered a crime since they're forced clones.

The Group Read

### Short Group Read:

The group read is a "club" within the Water server. In the group read, each week the members read a short manga, and "discuss" it on Friday. Because of the horribly unorganized nature of the group read, as well as the fact that no one actually gives a shit, the discussion always ends up happening before Friday. Usually whenever someone finishes the manga in question

#### Manga Read:

What follows is a list of the manga that the Short Group Read has covered in chronological order.

1. Ashizuri Suizokukan
2. Kono Sekai no Owari e no Tabi
3. Oyaji
4. Gon

### Long Group Read:

The long group read is a total clusterfuck that makes no sense. Unlike the Short Group Read, there is no time limit. I guess we do 2 volumes a week, but the manga are as of know easily finishable in a couple of days. I don't get it.

#### Manga Read:

What follows is a list of the manga that the Long Group Read has covered in chronological order:

1. Kozure Ookami

### Huss V. Batsling:

Within the group read there is a very contested piece of information. Batsling, claims that he gave Huss the idea for the group read, having himself gotten it from the Best Guy Ever Discord server. Huss, in turn, claims that he came up with the idea for the group read by himself. No one knows which is true. Not even those involved.

Episode 15

## A New Captain

(Some time has passed. Fred and Steve are in their new assignments aboard a Federated ship, the Guantopolis.)

The episode begins with The Recappers once again attempting to claim credit for things the original people they've been cloned from did.

Returning from a particularly great shore leave, the Guantopolis' Captain Venous Belbib offers Fred a promotion to first officer but he must compete with Steve for it. Before he decides, captain Belbib collapses right in front of them. Another member of his race comes and Steve convinces him that Belbib selected him as the new captain. For some reason Fred goes along with this subterfuge and together they set off to rescue Karl from prison as well as recruiting Doctor Widget to join them.

Belbib soon dies of what is later determined to be Space Syphilis.

Watch the entire episode on Youtube.

Great Railway Adventures

**Great Railway Adventures**is a line of award-winning stories written by Lin Oliver with audiobook narations by LeVar Burton. It was licensed by Lionel and produced by Learning Curve.

Beginning in 1998 with the publication of three books, the line ran until 2002, having three more books and a whole series of die-cast battery-operated toy trains created during its span.

## Toy Train System

The toy train system began in 1998 with only three engines that were released alongside the first three books in the series, meant to be companion pieces so that children could relive the stories. They were advertised as being compatible with Learning Curve's patented Clickity-Clack Track system. Starting in 1999, the toy train system received its own track system, known as ExpressTrack. Many more products were released in the system's lifespan, with an increasing number not being related to the book series and being freelance ideas.

In 2001, the Great Railway Adventures label was removed from all non-book products, which were henceforth simply labelled as the **Lionel Battery-Powered Train System**.

## Great Railway Adventures Express Series

Because Lionel did not have a market presence in countries outside of the United States, the line was known as the **Great Railway Adventures Express Series**. It was introduced in 1999, the same year that the Great Railway Adventures Wooden Series was introduced.
Conductor's Track Pack

The **Conductor's Track Pack** is an expansion pack that includes a variety of ExpressTrack pieces.

## Includes

* 3- 2" Straight Track
* 4- 4" Straight Track
* 2- 6" Straight Track
* 2- 8" Straight Track
* 2- 4" Curved Track
* 2- 6 1/2" Curved Track
* 2- 6 1/2" Curved Switch Track
* 2- 6" Half Ascending Track
* 2- 13" Curved Ascending Track
* 8- Track Risers

## Trivia

Summerwind Center

Summerwind's Center serves as the kingdom's center and its beating heart. Festivities, bazaars, ceremonies, trial and ritual combat are but a few of the vivacious activities that take place here round the year.

The festivals are an opportunity for merchants, traders and swindlers alike to make a little more than their regular upkeep and for men, women and children to dance, eat and drink for nights on end.

The Center of the kingdom is a large circular space and can easily hold almost everyone in Summerwind, even on its rowdiest days.
