Good ideas Scott (though there was no transformer in the Metroliner anyway)
Given that you can purchase the rest at shop at home already (track, motor), then why not package it 'my own train'
style and let people add what they want, and/or not pay for stuff they already have.
No Track - should really read 'No Curves' :-)

I have never owned one which had its box, so I was not aware of that! I had
a MISB one once, but I sold it. I have now sold/traded all my Metroliners
and Clubcars as they were just too expensive to justify the amount required
to get a decent sized train. I am glad I sold them now!

Well, I havent sold any of mine.
But then they are all played with
I did buy a MISB set for £70 (including a MISB transformer too) not long ago, and promptly opened it!
I have 3
1 bought new
1 bought in bits, and gradually put back together, though still missing one rare piece
1 as described earlier
Plus I have aquired extra windows and doors in trades.
So whilst they will no longer command the value they may once have, I havent lost any money either.
I doubt I will be buying a new legend one. No need. Though some more doors would be nice.
And as for club cars, well I was lucky enough to buy them on clearance at the Entertainer for £14 each.
Wonder what they will be now?
Looking at the other sets, my guess will be around £25
I might buy a couple.

lawrence
