(...) Precious Princess Palace on bricklink had a slew of them all for $80 so they are still around. Good to know about the gray.

Doug, You are right! I couldn't find 65537 listed at BrickBros either. But it should also be pointed out that this is a hard set to try and locate anywhere on the internet. I did some searching for it on google, and most e-tailers selling LEGO don't (...) (20 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)

I guess I'm more looking for a basic set up (motor, tracks and some basic parts) and then intend on creating my own train. I agree that the more recent Super (...)
