I've been following this post. After reading all the reviews, I think you are nuts for buying this set with all it's record of issues and after sitting in the box for those years. I hope you like to tinker and also don't mind throwing good money after a dream that from my lazyboy looks like a nightmare. That said, I wish you the best of luck with the set. Tony at America's Best has all kinds of oldish Lionel just sitting around. I think he still has three of those Phantom sets on a shelf. Have fun!
