well I was at the local drug store, and I saw something I couldn't resist. A Life-Like train set for an amazing $20.........I couldn't believe my eyes. It comes with the standard track.
I wen't to the show in R.I., I picked up two Athern SD70 for $48.00 each! I have been away from the hobby for 30 Yrs. Wow, I want to throw out my old trains! These things are unbeliviable!!!!! They pull every car I have up a 3% grade! The old ones can't.
