<p>I really HOPE that they reconsider, but since there are people will buy because of the "Harry Potter" name no matter how crappy the product, I doubt it......</p><p>The coaches have too small, and seriously truncated bodies perched a million miles in the air. Shades of 0-27! (We really need a puking emoticon)<br /> </p><p>The loco also sits too high and the proportions are so far off it barely qualifies as even a caricature. It's more like a scaled up z scale than anything I would call designed for G. The Hall class engines (the loco in the movies isn't a real Castle) are a very handsome loco.

They don't seem to have one. For $140 people should have the right to expect something a bit better than what is found in a $25 New Brite set. The Lionel badge USED to stand for something. I guess it doesn't anymore...sad. (So much for for me ever getting hired to write a review in GR, lol) </p><p> </p>
