Well, there are ways to fix that.... You could probably score a bunch of
train parts fairly cheap if you asked around on buy-sell-trade. Many
traniacs have an overabundance of curved track, train motors, and power
pack/controllers, and you could probably get those for less than S@H
prices. You would then just need to acquire some straight track and
turnouts (switches) if desired, some coupler magnets (if you want to
hook your train with others, those ball and socket joints from 6497 will
work fine oherwise) and some regular train wheels. You may also be able
to pick up a train set at a discount somehow (like for example, if Cary
hasn't sold all the cheap 4565s that he doesn't really want for
himself), and then you might only need to add the power pack.
