(...) Cool. I picked up about 1/2 dozen of these when they showed up on the shelves at $24.00, and I'll likely pick up another dozen or so if they're back. Thanks! James (URL) (25 years ago, 3-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.ca)

G'Day Just a quick note : at one of my local WAL-MARTS they had a large stock of the Twisted Time Trains on sale for $19.99 (reg about $45). Yes I know its an ugly , ugly set , but it is good for parts. (Like 2 black low slope outside corner roof (...) (25 years ago, 3-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.ca)
