Thanks, John. That set is truly awesome. Love all the pics, and the video. As noted above, given the green lights, that track might look great on a Christmas layout. I also loved how the locomotive appeared to be activating the track as the train moved forward. -- quite the cool effect with all of the other colors and sounds on the train itself.
Now, dating myself, I'm reminded of a great summation of his experience when a co-worker took his two young children to Chuck-E-Cheese's for the first time. He said:
"It was an assault on the senses"
And, that, of course was meant to be a high compliment, since he, his wife, and their two children totally enjoyed the experience. Naturally, I took my wife and our young family within a week's time!
So, now to check for the Area 51 set availability...
....still available, including at Charles Ro.
