Uncle Nick, unbelievable layout! And the story just makes it all the more beautiful. I also wish Paul could have been with you to buy it, but atleast he gets to watch his kids enjoy it every year. Happy Holidays! Will see you this summer. Great job!

Wow, that's really nice of you!

This is a great upgrade for Lionel and a long time comming... It has full TMCC Crane Car Support which is great for my layout. Also allows the function of the train link button and when building a lash up there are more customizable controls. This is a great software upgrade!
Thanks Lionel for the continued support of the Legacy/TMCC system.

Thanks to Scott and all at Trainz.com. I've made several purchases and never had to worry about shipping information/tracking/packaging or reliablity. It's probably the best online train shop I've ever dealt with. Thanks again!

Karen,

I'm glad to hear that our Blue Comet Set inspired such memories. Trains in general have a tendency to do that frequently. It is a beauty and I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it and it evoked those good memories.

2009-12-08T20:21:06.723-05:00

I'm new at this so please bear with me if I don't post this properly. I saw your Blue Streak on Ebay. I was looking for something that was affordable for my brother as he is turning 50 next week. He shared the love of trains with my Dad. My Dad had mentioned the Blue Streak (circa 1930's)as a fond memory. He had contracted polio when he was 8 years old. After spending 2 yrs. in the Shriner's Hospital he recalled coming home and his parents had set up his new train set under the tree where he could lay on the floor and play with them. I always wanted to get the trains back for him but...he passed away in '99 and so thought my brother would enjoy them. Seeing what they are worth now...I'd never be able to give such a gift but I marveled at the beautiful condition the trains were in and thank you for preserving a piece of history for me to view. May your holidays be filled with wonderful blessings and peace. :)
