Just based on the description I think that this set will be single-handedly
responsible for getting me into LEGO trains. It's a personal thing, you see.
My very first toy train when I was a young child was a Super Chief...my very
first HO scale train set was a Super Chief...my very last O scale train set
was a Super Chief...I was born in Orange County and raised in Los Angeles
County, and the name Santa Fe was synonomous with the word train to this
little tyke.
I can't wait to see this set, and seeing as how it's a limited, numbered
edition, I'm sure I'll be buying several.
Thank you LEGO, for giving me a piece of my childhood back.
Matt
