What problems do I have to look out for & what`s a reasonable price? not familiar with MTH

I would say the only thing lacking in this entertaining set is a pair of lint-free inspection gloves to avoid fingerprints on the mirror-like finish.

I recall @jim sutter selling the Coors tailcars for $58 plus tax in 2008. Suffice to say, along with the tailcar purchase, an engine and several pieces of rolling stock, his pup Molly earned a few biscuit treats.
Jim's Train Shop was a wonderful train store experience. Although I could only visit the store about 3 or 4 times a year, I can't imagine nor recall ever seeing anyone walking out without buying items.
@gunrunnerjohn posted:I don't understand why MTH didn't pursue the command operating car technology after the Coors was such a hit. That is the big hole in the MTH command lineup, they only control locomotives or accessories (with the AIU). No command capable rolling stock, other than the Coors set.
Good point, especially how with the Coors Train set release MTH touted the great potential of using the same car function communication technology in various future product releases. I wonder if the "tech" was a either financially not feasible to be put into individual items or certain components were at the end of their technological-production life ...or a combination of both.
