Hey if they have Elvis and A Team train sets, why not Century 21?

I found the set (Sorry, no photo, it's too tiny) and apparently it was made by none other than Walthers.Seriously, why does such a set exist. Those dang advertisers.

And why not? We're being railroaded by the government anyway.
Unspoken expectations are premeditated failures.

Good looking set but $179.99 on eBay. I'm buying a nice DCC loco for that price if I had that much money.

But it's C-O-L-L-E-C-T-I-B-L-E And it's NUMBERED!
(Actually, something like that should be sold at at a discount because whoever gets that thing is going to have to strip the ridiculous Century 21 graphics off so they can be repainted )

As noted with the road numbers, the caboose is 1971, and the engine is 1996. Century 21 Real Estate was founded in 1971, and this was the 25th Anniversary set. $180 might be a bit steep for a commemorative set, but it's not TOO far out of line considering it's a boxed set with minimal tears. It'a a fairly big set with a loco, caboose and 6 pieces of rolling stock. Don't see it up for sale hardly ever, though. Interesting set, but probably not on my wishilist.
As noted, it's hand-built and the locomotive and box are serial numbered (out of 1000?). A nice little find, but a bit rich for me.

I think the quality of these pieces...of the whole set....are very good! Just a pet peeve of mine to see model railroad stuff painted in a beyond-fantasy scheme like this.
The truck is definitely Cox-heritage, as well as the flat car. The molds have obviously made it to Walthers.
