Hello All

I just bought my first Bachmann train.
I found a Santa Fe Flyer train set a Meijer's
for only $29.99. It came with 4 cars with 36
inches circle of EZ track and a powersupply.
I have seen this set at different online hobby
stores for $60. They also have a Santa Fe set
thats blue and yellow with a set of modern
passenger cars for $79.99, Ive seen this set for
$130.
The F9 engine runs pretty smooth at low speeds,
but it dosent have much pulling power or top speed.
It gave up with 7 cars on a flat track.
Are the more costly bachmanns better performers?
If this sounds like a deal let me know, Meijer's has
just one more set.
thanks
Jay
