[quote user="angelob6660"]They're not for YOU they're for kids who wants trains.[/quote] I am quite aware that this set (and for that matter, numerous other train sets) are not made for the discerning gentleman model railroader, but are a rather cheap toy for small children. If I were a parent or a grandparent to children of that age group, I´d think twice before I´d buy yet another cheap plastic toy with a service life to be measured in days to be added to the junkyard which once was a child´s room. Our kids are getting flooded with this crap instead of getting good quality toys with a high educational and play value. Marklin also started to market trainsets like the one shown. They are not intended to be good toys, but meant to generate quick high margin sales as they are produced in the cheapest possible way. Marklin was celebrated by the financial world for this bold move - how ridiculous!
