i think the reason we are not seeing any decent trains lately is because by

Well couldn't they just sell the train or maybe just the individual cars by
themselves?  I don't need any more curved track or another controller.

...Well, they kinda started that with the 'Classic Train' and the cars set (no
set numbers, my catalogs are all at work :-/

...I agree its much better to get a train sans track. Makes the set cheaper and
doesn't burden the set with lots of extra track you may not need... :-/


I would like to see a good diesel engine and a box car.  That way I could buy
one or two engines and many, many box cars.

...Now wouldn't that be a dream! Assemble your own trains a-la-cart! sigh...
