QUOTE: Has One Combine, One Coach, And One Observation Car Has 63 x 45" Oval Of E-Z Track Also Has A Spectrum Power Pack (with accessory capability) And VHS Instructions And One Terminal Re-Railer --------------- 1. I have several of the 2-8-0 locomotives. I have no problem recommending them. 2. Passenger cars. These are excellent cars I have several in my fleet. 3. E-Z Track. Selection of different types of pieces is getting better, but still very limited. The more track accumulated the more tied into the one brand you will be. If you decide to expand greatly beyond the simple oval, you might want to consider switching to generic track. This is the least costly thing to change. 4. Spectrum Power Pack - My son has one of these. I love the huge dial. It turns really smooth and gives good train speed control. In all after reading the contents of this set I can recommend it.

QUOTE: Originally posted by BSDtrain Thanks everyone. The reason I was asking was there was a Bachmann Spectrum Explorer set on ebay for $119.00 that was ending soon. I couldnt find it anywhere else even close to that price online so I bought it. Well, here we go, my first train set. Thanks BSD
