You sound like a person who would appreciate a train setup running 2 4558's , 5
7740's , 2 7725's, 2 4547's , 2 4549's and a 7745. (this week)

The greatest train that lego ever made?....Hmmm.....any train set that uses classic
train windows and doors would be a contender but for me its a toss up between 7730
Freight Train and 118 Electronic Engine and 7750 Steam Loco.
