Suz, I agree the newest one (4561) isn't by itself a great set. But
considering the affect you get when you put say 2 or 3 of them together, you
get a fairly decent looking train. My advice is go ahead and get 9v train
complete, (unlike me who wasn't able to afford 9v trains for years and years),
and get at least 2 4561's if not 3. I'd love to see other people do with
multiples of this set to get a decent affect, and to see how they work out the
problems of enlarging it. My current version is Metroliner car height, with
passenger doorways between the cars on par with the Metroliner. The engine, of
course, is the correct heigth to ensure a bullet train appearence.
