Lousy cellcam pic of something I just couldn't pass up given the crazy deal price - only my second full Tyco passenger set:
Full Tyco "Columbian" Royal Blue set, all pieces MIB. The red boxes with chrome and blue make it rather patriotic.
I had another set loose, but for the price this MIB set was listed for, the upgrade was a no-brainer. And it yielded a discovery: They only did the chrome sets for one (or maybe two?) year(s)... but there are variants on road numbers and names.
- The Boxed coaches are both "Pullman #200", the loose one is "Royal Blue 3105"
- Boxed combine is "Royal Blue #238", loose one is "Royal Blue 3105".
Always interesting to see the employees' paint mask mix-and-match whims....

I hate you Tony  . That's a gorgeous set...one of the ones I still need. It seems as though the chrome sets show blemishes and scuffs a lot more clearly, which makes finding a nice example difficult 
What a lovely set ken. Any plans to build a mini-layout with it
