This is exactly what’s holding me back from purchasing this set. The RC rails are useless to me right now and the price per piece is just too high compared to some of the other great sets out right now. I’ll probably buy a couple more Cafe Corner sets and a few of the market street sets and build my own station. :-) On the flip side, this might be a nice set for someone getting into Lego trains. It would help if the price was slightly lower. IMHO.

Seems incomplete to have just the facade of a roof instead of a fully sloped one. What’s with the red mug on the roof?
