I bought one of these for my son but am still on the fence for myself. Time is running out. For those of you who have purchased Gold edition trains in the past, Are you glad you did? Do you run them frequently? Or does it sit on the shelf as another impulse purchase. Your thoughts and comments may knock me off the fence.
I like the Lionel and MTH issues from the past. They are very well done.
The application of course is rather unique. My guess is that most who own them use them as part of a shelf or mantle display. Personally, I would not buy the 1225 Gold Edition PE if that were to be the use. I intend to run mine with the Gold coaches In our North Pole/PE layout. We then will have both scale versions running and I think it will look very cool.
If you have purchased a Gold edition for your son, you are half way there. Why not go all the way and get one for yourself as you obviously like it.
