Since winners deals in clearance items I can pretty well say no track etc yet. Regulators are on clearance I know so they end up with them. But have not seen any of the tracks etc hit clearance. (20 years ago, 17-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I saw Train Regulators at Winners today. $34.99, I think. Kind of odd that they have them. Maybe they'll get track in soon! -Greg (20 years ago, 16-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
