Sam's Club Bachmann Annie X-mas $ 129.99

Thought I pass this on to all of you. Heard Sam's club was going to offer a Large scale set. Well it's here in Columbus Ohio! i resisted buying one due to the fact I really want an LGB 2-6-0 Mogul! I'm not willing to settle. Looks like a combine, boxcar, and gondola. can't rightly remember exactly. Engine is a 4-6-0 with tender.

Here's the pic! Amazing how much better the Bachmann track looks in the pic than in real life.

Yeah if your a member of Sams Club you get a bit of a deal, These sets are usually $150+/- at discount shops .

Matt you can always keep the cars and Ebay the loco. I dont shop at Wally World and I already have redundant LS cars so I'll pass.

   Have fun with your trains

Vic, I can't say I was overwhelmed with the quality of the cars, My first scratch boxcars look better even though there not completed yet. If I bought it I'd paint the loco Black and reletter it, scrap car bodies and keep the wheelset and trucks for scratch builds[:D].
