How about a choice for none of the above!

Yeah, NONE OF THE ABOVE should have been a choice.

Modular railroading at its best!
If it has an X in it, it sucks! And yes, I just had my modeler's license renewed last week!

I had the Overland Limited when I was about 9 or ten.

I remember that set well. I don't remember the primitive detail, paint jobs, or how many rivets the cars had. And whether or not steam engines should be pulling cylindrical hoppers.

All I can remember about it is how much fun I'd have running it. It looked like a train, and it had a steam engine with a weak, but fun to watch, smoke unit. And that was all I needed to care about then.

I have the newer Bachmann Overland Limited. It is a nice train set. Not as good as the Spectrum series, but a nice budget set. I like the Northern locomotive that came with it.

I voted "Daylight" because the Southern Pacific is my favorite railroad and I love every thing about the "Daylight" its steamline-shape,its beauitful black,red and orange colors and just because.

Gilbert's American Flyer trainset. My brother still has our set including all of the land "puzzle pieces" that the track was mounted to. It always brings back memories when he talks about setting it up at Christmas time.
