A reader writes: I have recently acquired the exact set you have featured here: http://familygardentrains.com/primer/sh ... _train.jpg. It appears to have never been used, several tracks still bundled. It no longer has original packaging. Do you know what the value of this Christmas Lionel set is? Thank you so much! -------Our Reply --- Please Log In and add your own:-------------------- Thanks for getting in touch. When these came out most stores had them for $130-160. After Christmas they closed them out for half or less of their original price - if you can find them. They are battery powered and not nearly as solid as Lionel O gauge trains. That said, they're a lot of fun, as long as you stock up on batteries. I set up similar trains for kids to run, but I usually use better track than they put in the box, since that's not the greatest. BTW, I got my sets on after-Christmas sales for $40 and $60 respectively. On the following page are a few similar sets, in case you wanted to see the sort of thing Lionel does with this set. http://bigchristmastrains.com/ls_xmas/ls_xmas.htm The newer sets all have remote control, which the kids love. I'm not sure if your set has that or not. Let me know if you have any questions. - Paul |
