MTH RailKing Golden Spike Sets

I've been giving some thought to the Central Pacific version because I prefer the balloon type smokestack.

The wording in feature "near scale sizing", will keep me from buying or any interest. When it is made to "scale sizing", I will be inclined to purchase a couple. Second best and rehashing the same with only a paint change but price increase is no longer my forte when purchasing.

Paul - the Juipter set is the one I'm most interested in too.

Not much interest in these sets here on OGR.  Prices do seem high if this nothing more than new paint and different smokestacks.  I like these early locomotives and rolling stock, they work well on small layouts.

Are there any affordable "closer to scale" models out there?

Alan,

It is possible that those sets are sold without track. Would be best to know for sure if they have track or not, contact MTH or an MTH dealer and they should be able to tell you. For almost $630.00 I would expect track with it.

I know that WBB has some sets for sale without track but at least they mention that in the sale catalog.
