I suspect Ahui was thinking that I was asking about a TLC wishlist, but I was
talking about my own firm, Milton Train Works. (www.miltontrainworks.com)
Nevertheless in order to spur discussion, I've answered as if he was talking
about MTW.

250 USD for an engine, 5 cars and a caboose is going to be a tough price point
for me to hit, unless the cars are somewhat juniorized which totally misses
the point.

I wasn't planning on including any track at all! Maybe in a set run that was
targeted for eBay I would, but the question is, why pay a markup for stuff you
can get from S@H where I have not added any value at all? (track is track...)

These are beyond my electronics skills at this point, sorry...

Good idea and a must have for the next one, but is building supports that
hard? I'm not sure if I ship a package of grey bricks and some instructions
for how to build abutments that I've added much value.

Definintely working on this one, static or motorized lift bridge or both?

Yep. Although I'm thinking more modern (mobile cranes and container stuff)

It's on my wishlist but doing it right is going to be 2-3000 pieces and the
price point would be in the 500-750 USD range
> - indiviudal train cars/engines/cabosse sets
Cars you have now. The rest are coming.

| Opps sorry, but now that I understand your question let me re-answer it. Freight Set. Hum... Depends of what the price is? I got to see the other customs you have on your page and they are great. But money is an issue. $500 would probably be my max (...) (24 years ago, 2-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
