That is a screaming deal. Thanks. I’m curious as to why 4561 isn’t highly regarded. I guess I’m more looking for a basic set up (motor, tracks and some basic parts) and then intend on creating my own train. I agree that the more recent Super Chief is great looking but I tend to keep sets together for such a short period of time that it ends up rarely being worth the cost.

And the next question I have: do all the new sets (like this 65537) have track in the new dark gray or the old? I probably don’t even want to touch this color issue, do I?
