Greetings:
I realize this is a simplistic question but what is your favorite Lego Train
set?
I am mostly a Lego Castle and Pirate collector but I was looking to get into
Lego Trains. I have noticed a few train sets that look good but I was not
sure. So I thought I would ask you all.
Please let me know what is your favorite set and why? (Sounds like a high
school assignment, sorry.)
Currently the only Lego Train set I have is a very incomplete 7722 4.5v with
the battery car beyond repair.
(That reminds me if anyone has a 4.5v battery car that they would want to part
with please let me know too. : ) )
Thanks
Sam Pusch

| I've got to agree, the 4565 is probally the best train set on the shelves right now...I much prefer the 4559 Cargo Railway to the newer 4561 but 4559s are getting hard to find. If you want a ready to go passenger train your pretty much stuck with (...) (25 years ago, 5-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) My favorite is whatever I just finished designing myself. I'm a better designer (for the adult market) than LEGO are. But then I don't have the same constraints they do and I'm not nearly as constrained by piece count as they are... Currently (...) (25 years ago, 5-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
