The C&A red color is a little "muddy", but other than the light directly overhead of my layout, the basement is fairly dim, so I want to add some moving color with reds. Black or Navy Blue Locos just don't show up very well. Bright candy colored reds give the trains too much of a toy-like look to me.
Big Jim, so how good was the early C&A set you bought your daughter? How long did it last? (I would never buy any of the modern stuff, because I just don't fancy computer control items.)

Manny,
Like the others have said, it was/is a great set. The colors make it something special for its time! She still has it. Somewhere in the OGR catacombs there is an article about this set.
