Charles, you mention several valid points. I just want to comment on the last one. That trainset you mention is one of the "Presidents Choice" annual sets offered at Loblaw-controlled supermarkets, [Loblaw, Zehrs,Valumart, etc.] They are made by Mehano in Slovenia [formerly part of Yugoslavia], and are pretty good value for money if looked after. Their locomotive quality is much better than those of the Lifelike, Model Power, and Bachmann "low-end" trainsets. But their cars are pretty bad, IMHO. Mehano has been around for many decades, and usually did "house brands" for such outfits as AHM, and right now for IHC. Mehano locomotives from IHC are not as low in cost at hobbyshops as the ones in trainsets from grocery chains, because the grocery chains use these sets as an attraction in to the store, and as an advertising tool, not as a necessary income producer. Anyway, keep up the good work at building a railroad on a budget. regards, Mike Meaford, Ontario
