That is certainly true, but we don't even know if 10001 will include the
speed regulator as of yet. By the way, Harvey suggested that Henry get the
4561-not the other way around. When I had my 4561, I still managed to build
a small shunting locomotive and two flat waggons. -Harvey

| (...) 4561 is a good parts set and if you want something NOW it's a good choice. You may be able to find it for less than list too. Check various web sites or your local Target which sometimes has them on sale. (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
