I like 4563 a lot but so do a lot of people. It regularly approaches $200
on eBay. Odds of finding one in a store somewhere are slim (depending where
you reside). Rumor has it that there will be some new train offerings soon
so you may want to wait. 4561 is (was?) available for $65 from
Wal-Mart.com, a good deal and a reasonable platform (when you factor in the
availability of blue train windows and doors from LEGO Direct) for building
your own train.
