Thanks for the pictures. Does the set include a tender as shown on the box picture? I can't tell from the loco picture. Is it 1:20 or something else?

Yeah its there tucked behind the loco, saw this set at my local OSH also, I got way too much stuff to even think about this set, but it is a nice Big Hauler set. Its 1/22.5, always was, always will be.
Have fun with your trains
Awh....don't have one here! But $230.00 is way to high for me . Paid $150.00 for Sam's Club train last year with trolly, if I remember right.
But 50% should place it about $115.00. Would love one but have to many now

The meaning of OSH is in the photos. It is Orchard Supply Hardware. Look at the photos again and you will see it.
Pay attention to the photos..............
Wal-Mart, K-Mart or any other Mart won't have these sets. They are exclusive only to OSH stores which only exsist in California.
true but a loco is a loco, ecpically if one is to say cut it up to make better things from it. Now that you point that out... ...maby that baseball bat did find its target after all.

I don't see anything to get mad about here. Some guys on these forums like to here about these OSH sets so thats why I posted them with the information. It's not my fault no other state has an OSH store. We we don't have a Sam's Club here, but you don't see me getting all upset that I can't buy their exclusive sets.
Easy guys......if it be know you could say we still have a country topic. Most all are made in China.....just different lettern.

Sam's club sets can be ordered online, although this years set with christmas light physically gouged into the side of the engine and cars is a definate Woof! of a dog as far as I'm concerned! I'd skip it this years Sams set. OSH definetly sells them on-sale post X-mas as they do not want to store something so seasonal they'd have to hold onto for a whole year. Yeah, they'll be on sale come the 26th, maybe earlier.
Matt, if you know the manager, might be a good idea to ask to have one set aside for you when they go on sale, as its my experience theres always a run on the sets come opening time on the 26th.

That might be a good idea Vic. I will try to make it in soon within the next couple weeks.

I'm not mad about anything. I thought it strange that two people posted a third to 'read the signs', presumably on the train, to discover where it came from. Then I noticed both were from the same region. We have an 'Orchard Supply' by that name here in Missouri, but it is a farm supply house, and a strictly local business so far as I know. Of the many things it sells, trains are not one. So, the 'Orchard Supply' name made me curious. I even included an emoticon; apparently that symbol means different things to different people. Tom the Brat used it on me in several posts awhile back. I thought he was just yanking my chain. In a situation like this, taking offense isn't really a great first option. An inquiry along the lines of 'huh? what're you saying?' can be made just as easily w/o immediate recourse to negative assumptions.
If I injured your feelings, I apologize.

No not all. It just seemed the reply was a little sarcastic is all. No harm done. Let's move on shall we?
