With all the talk of the high cost of trains from predominately Lionel, it behooves me to congratulate them when they offer a product which IMO represents good if not great value in a product which many of us might not otherwise consider.
Enter 6-84719 Santa Fe Super Chief starter set.
A two can motor A unit with 3 passenger cars (a starter set rarity) having seating and interior lighting. It has track and a wall wart power supply which many of us have no use for, even then this is one nice value packed set IMO.
Lionel must think so as well as with the exception of expansion packs which seem to have gone the way of the dodo, this set has had add on cars issued; baggage and vista dome.
An inexpensive but very responsive hand held remote is included as well as a Blu Tooth option. At $399 what is not to like?
Of course being the over achiever that I am (sarcasm) I have obtained a complete consist of a previous iteration of this set which has red and yellow striping on the passenger cars just for some extra razzle dazzle.
Pop a few screws on the passenger cars and you can put a couple of packs of Bachmann truncated (no legs) seated passengers in place for a more realistic presentation.
I am quite smitten with this set and declare it a total success for the purpose for which it was intended; selling the sizzle of model railroading.
It is the best $399.00 I have spent on trains in a very long time; and a passenger set of all things to boot.
