(...) Scott- I agree 90% with you here. Lose the track and transformer. I like motors though. I've got more than enough curved rail. In general, I think LD would be better off selling trains piecemeal rather than large $150 sets. Each year they (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

One thing Brad Justus said on Saturday was that LUGNET estimates of how many Guarded Inns were being ordered were "way off" -- the point was that many, many times more are being bought by parents of kids. Sales "went through the roof" when the S@H (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
