I purchased the original Polar Express set by Lionel this year for my grandchildren and now have a permanent layout for it (12' X 40").
This will probably be my only "Themed" train set although I get tempted from time to time. I as curious to see how many of you own train sets such at the Beatles, Lone Ranger, Major League Baseball Teams, Christmas (non PE), Halloween and the countless others. They must sell because they always show up in each new catalog. This is not a judgment post but a what and why post. Let's have fun with it
