Have you ever seen Bronner's Christmas Wonderland in Frankemuth, Michigan?

That is the intense atmosphere the people at Lionel have recreated with this set.

Frankenmuth is west of Chesterfeild in Michigan.

Can everybody say "Mass marketing"????
This set is obviously not directed at the serious model railroader. It is being marketed to your wife and kids!
It may be G but I wouldn't leave it out in the garden.

I think it could sell, but the price concerns me. $279? What does New Bright's top-of-the-line train sell for?

Like others have said, we aren't the market. I'm glad to see Lionel trying in this market.
