 It came out a year or two. If you are looking a cheap toy train set then you won't be disappointed! Wink

I think he means this G gauge Lionel set

I saw it last night at Target, quality is the same as Polar Express mentioned in the LSC link as its the same engine, but this one is definetly funner, I like the "Major Award" in the boxcar. Its an inexpensive battery operated set and for just around the tree kind of fun its fine for that, I dont think it would hold up well used outdoors for prolonged periods of time, but for Xmas it should be fine.

BTW While I like the movie and find this set 100 times more appealing than the Bipolar Express, I'm holding out for a B'manns Thomas and Percy and a sharp razorsaw.

   Have fun with your trains
