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.

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

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

So paint them. Do it all the time. No big deal!

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.
Have fun with your trains
Easy guys......if it be know you could say we still have a country topic. Most all are made in China.....just different lettern.

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.
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.
Pay attention to the photos..............
The meaning of OSH is in the photos. It is Orchard Supply Hardware. Look at the photos again and you will see it.
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

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.
