MTH has really hit a grand slam with the LED products. Dealers can't even hang on to the flat cars with trees and crates. They're gone as soon as they receive them. Just Trains only brought ONE white flat car with the white crate, and I grabbed it around 8:15am when I saw it. Then later snagged the Polar Express colored ones from Nicholas Smith!
I also grabbed an MTH Polar Express style aquarium car that had skaters moving about in the animated windows. The LED lighting in the MTH aquarium cars is much more superior to the older-style incandescent bulbs. Very evenly illuminated. Heard lots of passers-by commenting positively on the display model too. I wish Lionel would adopt similar technologies for their aquarium cars, as they've taken a disappointing turn in recent years.
