I'm all for getting a good deal, but make sure you know exactly what you are getting. For a starter set, I'd still be looking for a NIB Lionchief set and then step up to more track, switches and the new and improved CW-80 (at least according to Lionel) or MTH Z-1000 for the 2025 as time and budget allows.
Great point and well taken. Thank you!!
