| No other sets so far? I will then post another set. This one consists of three MTH O scale subway cars. Still time for others to post their sets.  .

Here's an interesting one:
The early 1990s Tyco Chattanooga Choo-Choo set! Though not pictured, it also came with the track (it really needs cleaning), power pack (typical 80s-style Tyco one), a bridge and trestle set, and unusually the old version of the Tyco whistle billboard.
The locomotive (made by Mehano) seems to run fine, but it does struggle a bit. I guess it just needs some cleaning and lubrication! (Anyone got a diagram for those Mehano steamers?) So far it does seem nicer than Tyco's own Chattanooga locomotive.
Unusually, while the locomotive, tender, "chugging" boxcar and caboose are the Mehano-made substitutes, the other three freight cars are actually made by Tyco! (They have "MADE BY TYCO IN HONG KONG" on the bottom.) Maybe they were leftover stock or something. The track was also labeled by Tyco as made in Austria, and the power pack also had "MADE IN HONG KONG" on it instead of "MADE IN YUGOSLAVIA," as typically seen in the later Tyco sets.
