Lionel train for Christmas

Hello:

Again it is the Christmas subject! This year I want a Lionel train set for under the tree. Last year, I used an H.O. Too small for the large tree. Could barely see it! So I want Lionel. Here is the problem.

This past week I went to the local hobby store and asked the owner if he could order a Rock Island trainset from Lionel. He said that there isn't any. I would have to get it 2nd hand. IS this true? I am going to check out Lionel's website to make sure. I really want one but not the price. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Andy
