OK, I can understand that. What I don't understand is, (and I don't have anything against Mr. Young), why his name is associated with this set in the first place? What exactly "Neil Young" related (if anything) are people getting for their money? Did he autograph each piece or even one piece in order to make it some kind of collectible?  "Why? Santy Claus, why?"

We have one left.

Signature Line 15” Extruded Aluminum Passenger Cars make their return to the Lionel line with new realistic interiors, hand-painted passenger figures, separately-applied metal details, and interior lighting.
