The question of Christian is revealing that the target audience for the TTX is
clearly North American (initially desired by TLC or not).
I mean european (non AFOL - the main part of TLC customers) audience don't know
TTX, and have never seen a double stack container freight car. I'm quite sure
this set will be less successfull in europe than in NA.

"modelmaker orientated" models more than toyish ones TLC used to produce. I hope
this set will be succesfull to encourage such a move.
