Greetings all,

I've been a huge Lego fan for most of my life, largely because of my father.
While he has never owned any sets himself, he always participated in
building when I was young, and he always drooled over all of the train sets.
Well, this year my sister, my brother and I have decided to buy him a train
set for Christmas.  We know that he'll be really excited opening this and
will get years and years of value from this.  The tough question is, what
set should we buy?  None of us have ever owned a train set and we want to
choose one that runs the best, has the best assortment of track, etc.

I have a Lego Shop at Home catalog in front of me and there are really 5 set
or "kit" choices.  All look very cool, and all are relatively similar in
price.  Which of these is the best for the value?  To help you in answering
this question, I've created 3 different polls:

103.  As of October 6th, 2002 which of the Lego Train sets on the market is
the best choice as a gift for an adult who has never owned a Lego Train?

104. How would you rate the value of the following Lego Train sets on the
market as of October 6th, 2002? (10 being the highest value, 0 the lowest).

105.  How would you rank the value of the 5 Lego Train sets on the market as
of October 6th, 2002?

You can access these polls here:  http://members.lugnet.com/polls/

Thanks in advance for your help!  Just from glancing at the catalog I'm
leaning towards the Large Classic Train Engine Kit or the Deluxe Metroliner
Kit!
