(...) Used speed regs come up at auction every month or so and usually go for somewhere around 20-25. The 4559 is OK for parts, but if you have track, I feel the 3225 is better for parts now. I am still chasing a raincheck I hold for 6 4559's with (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)

(...) No for the rare question. Maybe for the worth the money question - depends on the price. Worth $60 and $10 ? Sure. Worth $130 and $40? Not really. (26 years ago, 25-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Both sets are still current. In fact, 4559 comes with the speed regulator 4548 included. Any train set is worth the money in my opinion ! Grahame Reid (26 years ago, 25-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)
