I 2nd that Larry 7745, 7740 and 4558 are the best full sets made. But 4549 is just a accessory set and if it's accessories you like, I think 4552 is a better set. Plus it's the last good train set made! But most of the old set are better then the (...) (25 years ago, 30-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

Certainly 7722 is nice enough but it does not hold a candle to 7745 or 7740, much less 4558. I have to tell you my favorite set is 4549, actually. But I am intermodal crazy. I wish I had gotten 10 of them at list instead of 2 of them for almost 200 (...) (25 years ago, 29-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

Jonathan, Well, I must agree with the Metroliner. You can get the nose piece from the Time series Flying Crap Boat. It has the top part, at least. I have 2 that I bought real cheap ($15) and still feel ripped off. I also had/have the 7722 and I used (...) (25 years ago, 29-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
