Chris,
Yes, it is still available, I got the new Adventurer cover (Spring? I
have to go look at it now! OK, Spring 1999 titled Jungle Adventure -
Pretty neat picture!) page 9, bottom. $66.00US. I thought about this
train a lot, and I think it is a good value now (For the train parts,
not the design), I just really got turned off by the engine and the wood
lumps in one of the cars. I might buy one soon, as the SW Lego's won't
be coming around soon (Why didn't I pre-order?! UGH!! :( )

| There has been alot of talk about the classic train again lately, so I grabbed my shop at home catalogu to give it a look. First, I still do not like it based the same reasons everyone else doesn't like it, but economically... 3 pairs of wheel sets (...) (28 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
