(...) Any idea of which countries 4561 will be available in? I certainly don't have much need of an extra controller (would probably just as soon buy a couple from Larry when I get a big enough table to need more than 2). (...) I think we may need (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)

We've gotten all the Sweden ones there are and will be bringing them over. I would not mind trying to do the same for Austria. Contact Michel to see if he wants to sell some of his share, I think I'm going to keep all of mine. Still looking for (...)

I just built my 4561 (4560 is the same set without the speed controller, not available in the US, so now I have 23 extra speed controllers instead of 22). I hate it. Heck, my kids hate it.

Having just returned from LL, I can say that Lar is right-- more like G scale. I can also say that the trains were probably the biggest disappoint of the park. Whoever built them knew little or nothing about engines and it showed:-( The rolling (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)
