As I mentioned previously, I probably won’t run these trains, however
tempting the prospect of RC control might be. The problem is that I don’t
“play” with my trains; I turn them on and let them run, period. Nor have I
any desire to do so. The whole concept is lost on me.

I share the same POV. I just wish I got into trains a lot earlier and had more
train elements at this point.

Same here, unfortunately. I plan on getting more track now as well. What I am
wondering is if one of the trains is RC and the other is reg 9V. I guess maybe
they’d conflict with each other regarding sales.
I’d love to talk more but I really have to get down to the lobby to sit and wait
for the limo.*
