Hmmm... I don't think we can really pull a political angle out of a Santa Fe Train Car like we did for the last Random Set of the Day. I think Huwbot's trying to tell us something.
^ Wanna bet?
Another great train set. I ended up getting one of these (I really liked the mail car) and two of the other one. These were good trains. Trains with actual doors, for one.
I got two of this and two of the other one when they were on sale way back in 2005 to use for a project. I never ended up using them, and they're still sitting new in box in my Lego closet. After seeing what they go for on Bricklink, I don't think I can ever open them.
I was really lucky and asked for just these for Christmas one year long ago, and I absolutely adore them. A few years ago I rebuilt the five (one of each) into four longer cars; I made a half baggage/half mail car, like some older trains had, and I merged the dining car with the dome car from the metroliner (I never had the metroliner itself, so it was an easy choice). I think these might be my favorite LEGO train because they were great to begin with, and I've also put so much time and love into them.
I wish LEGO would make more sets like these. They contained extra pieces so you could build two or three different first rate models. The Creator 3 in 1 sets are no where near as good, they build one good model and two second rate models.
LEGO should make these sets with the new LEGO CITY trains.
@MCLegoboy- I reckon you’re right. I rekon there’s a train coming.
Doors..... <3
Man, the Superchief is one of those on my wish list that'll probably never happen. Such a great model.
Political angle... Santa Fe... Super Chief... Amtrak... Southwest Chief... Richard Anderson... Raton Pass... BUS BRIDGE!
