I'll be the first to admit my Lego Train experience and exposure isn't big, but I don't think I could have picked a better time to get involved, with the release of the Super Chief. I've looked a few of the older Lego sets, and the current ones, but (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
