Did this set ever show up again following Christmas?  Has anyone heard rumors
that it may resurface sometime soon?  I've been looking into getting a lego
train set (my first), and this set always sounded like a good deal.

I actually have lots of train cars already, thanks to sales of the non-motorized
hogwarts express and the spider-man train rescue sets.  Now i just need the
regulator, track, motor, wheels etc.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Andy
