I saw it online, its a huge box 45 lbs. The guy putting it together is not only a train guy but a NASA scientist. A very cool set.

I saw it online, its a huge box 45 lbs. The guy putting it together is not only a train guy but a NASA scientist. A very cool set. Dave Dave, aside from the ore train sets (whose cars are much smaller by their very nature), this might be the only premium train set in recent memory that contains a dozen scale-sized freight cars. Most of Lionel’s premium freight sets nowadays only have 4 cars and a caboose — often exceeding $1,000. So this rocket booster set is a decent bang for your buck at a street price of under $1,600 — partly due to Lionel’s use of Standard-O boxcars as buffers instead of top-end scale boxcars.
I opted to just buy the rocket booster cars (with the rocket components). And I’m using scale flag boxcars as the buffers. So we’ll see how that looks. I also already have plenty of UP locomotives — I prefer the ones with silver trucks over the dull gray trucks on the locomotive in this set. So I’m otherwise all set to “build my own” rocket booster train. But there’s no denying this boxed set with superb graphics on the box will be a big draw for collectors.
