While the fine aesthetes and artistes of the three rail O gauge world may find the Polar Express, Harry Potter, Area 51 and Scooby Doo sets beneath their contempt, these products have helped keep Lionel in business, unlike a certain competitor . Unless one of you knows some love struck MTH fan who is also a venture capitalist, private equity maven or other white knight, you are apparently just going to have to live in our reality, whatever that turns out to be. I have an Area 51 set with lighted track on order from the last catalog, truth be told. I never claimed to have finely tuned artistic tendencies, and I guess this proves the point.
