Tony,
You can keep your eye out for one on Ebay but I doubt you'll be able to outbid one of those devoted "TYCO Collectors".

Or the empty Lionel box collectors. Man I wish I had deep pockets.

ps I like the Turbo Train
I actually have one of those sets in a closet in my dad's house! Complete with the rubber boots that held the track sections together, and the two 90-degree vertical curve track sections. My set only had enough track to basically make an oval with one side of it running up the wall. I think the cardboard tunnel and glow-in-the dark strips are long gone, though!

My other car is a tunnel motor
I remember the ads, but I think I was more into girls an cars by then.
