I assumed that TLC uses drawn/computerized backgrounds so that no one can
claim they are being misleading about the contents of the package. For
instance, on the 3225 Classic Train, they used drawn-in track instead of
real track, because there was none in the set.

Right. That drawn track (and glowing cave, etc) have been there since the
start of 9V.
Mayhaps J2 is referring to catalog illustrations, though?
PS, I heard I left my vitamins at Chris's, did you happen to get those? I
wouldn't want to have to eat spinach or anything.

Nope. I've got your track and Z'nap bridge, though.
