link Looking to do some old west and aside from the lack of tender the locomotive looks the best amongst the cheapish plastic trains available. |

You will see better and cheaper around Christmas time. I bought a used one for $3 USD at the local Goodwill that has a tender, box car and caboose. A friend got a similar one for about $25 USD or so at a retail store. |

Probably, but I agree with corporalpat. |

Its hard to tell from the photos as to whether the size would work with 28s. |

looking at the photo with the kids in it I would say its way to big. |

Upon closer look, I agree, too big. Corporalpat's idea is still sound. |

I know there are cheaper trains out there. There are some that are around $20 USD that are even cheaper around christmas time. I'm struggling with my desire for train accuracy vs cost for gaming. I suppose my old west games can take place in the Sergio Leone world with the european trains in the old west. Thanks for the help! |
