Since getting back to model railroading 6 years ago, I've only bought O gauge items but now awaiting the September arrival of an S gauge Polar Express set and add on cars. This will be my only S gauge set other than a late 1940's set given to me as a child.
Have ALL the 0-27, semi-scale P.E. sets and items from Lionel but unfortunately, no room for a layout large enough to handle the higher end, detailed scale offerings.
Looking forward to this "equivalent of a LionChief Plus" P.E. loco. and cars with their simulated snowy roofs as seen in the movie and book.
Have some O locos preordered too, and if lucky, they'll arrive as scheduled in early 2016 (lol).
