I think that much of it is that TLC recognizes (and certainly hopes) that folks
will buy more than one train set. If you got a speed regulator with EVERY
trainset, those of us who buy tons of train sets would be burried with them,
and even the kid who just gets a few train sets would probably end up with too
many. It's also a significant expense, these are not the cheap speed regulators
you see in HO train sets in TRU which are hardly more than a glorified wall
wart with a rheostat to control the output voltage.
Of course it would also be cool if TLC realized we don't all need a circle of
track in every train set...
