This is one thing I will probably will not relabel. I just can’t wait to get it put together and fire it up! Visiting relatives this weekend and no place to play.

Love it! Looks like the box is in good shape.

Here are the two sets I have, both of them labelled for sale in Canada (french writing).

So do you run those sets or are they “closet queens”? Asking for a friend!

Dry your eyes Mr. Chops. I see various pieces of the train at shows from time to time. I vow to build a PC train set as I can find the pieces!

The trains saw action on the original Atomic Lake layout. The elevated loop used steel rails specifically for that purpose. The trains now reside in my display case, while the boxes sit in a corner.

Very cool. My purchase may send me into a helter-skelter goose chase to find a Tyco slot car set so there is a grade crossing between cars and the turbo train.

The Turbo Trains sent me down quite a slotcar rabbit hole on that layout. I still have the roadbed and track which will hopefully be re-used at a later date. The TycoPro brass-pan slotcars are a lot of fun as they don't have traction magnets and will slide through corners.

I'm curious about that number board on the wall. Is that from an SP Sd45? I can;t think of too many other railroads that had spartan cab EMDs in the 9100s.
