[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/BillC/nailhouse2 012cp.jpg[/img] Back in 1986 I was the co-director of a team of volunteers who were to build a train display for our small local museum in the city park in Bridgeton, New Jersey. I wanted it to be durable and relatively maintenance free. You have to remember, things were much different back then. We built the structures out of plywood in 1:24 scale, and for the display I ordered a Stainz freight starter set and the Americanized version with a powered tender with a couple of passenger cars. They have been running ever since (not non-stop of course!) but their record has been pretty much flawless. During the 1990s I have to admit that for my own first purchase I bought one of those yellow LGB Americanized Stainz sets and added the powered sound tender to it. Since then my taste has become a little more discriminating, but I still run that yellow set when kids are visiting. I'll post a shot of it when I get a chance. Bottom line: There is nothing wrong with a starter set if it gets your started! Regards, Bill C. South Jersey
