Larry and Railroaders,
Here's is my plan for the new Lego Train System:
Note: All train cars are the longer four axle type.
I'm also assuming that all track and accessories will remain available
(wheels, motor, etc.)
Plan A (starter set):
1) Santa Fe Freight <Switcher Loco, Tanker Car, Flat Car, Box Car and oval
track> $150 US (basic transformer)
Plan B: (8 sets) A starter set plus
2) Amtrak Super Liner <Newer Loco, Two Double Decker Cars and small
platform> $135 US (no track or transformer)
3) Union Station <Station Building, Box Car and large platform> $75 US
4) Large Freight Loco <Loco with repair crew> $65 US
5) Amtrak Auto Train Car <One Car with four autos> $55 US
6) Freight Station <Station Building and platform> $45 US
7) Caboose and Hopper Car $35 US
8) Manual Crossing $25 US
Plan C: (20 sets) A and B plus
9) Old West Train <Steamer, Flat Car, Coach Car and Mail Car> $120 US (no
track or transformer)
10) Main Cargo Crane <Large Crane, Two Flat Car and Truck> $95 US
11) Super Transformer (support powered accessories and two tracks) $60 US
12) Powered Railroad Crossing (a newer US version of the classic 80's 12v
crossing) $50 US
13) Powered Switches $40 US
14) Powered decupler Kit $30 US
15) Fix-it Crew $20 US
17) Flat Car $15 US
18) Train Doors and Windows $10 US
19) Other Train Parts $10 US
20) Half Track Two Pack $5 US
Well that's my plan.
See Ya...
Robin
