I hope my negative review goes thru.  And I haven't seen Sears sell any model train stuff since American Flyer days.

Yeah, but: "Members earn 1120 Points if they purchase this item."

So you've got that going for you.

It's not actually Sears, but some sort of alliance seller/partner....  "SuperSellerOnline"...  If you click back you will see that all of
their products are ridiculously priced...

In fact, it looks like nothing is priced less than $40.78 - which is kind of strange...


Also, their reviews indicate they have lousy customer service and are slow to ship.

 :RUEffinKiddingMe:Wozzers, I'am going to get my Bachmann Plymouth MDT's Brass Plated today. It's a vertual sellers market. Way back in the early 1970's Sears sold an N Scale Revell Rapido train set with a UP GP-30 and wood caboose. I ordered one through their catalog department at my local store. When it came in I was disappointed to recieve a Bachmann UP set with the incorrect paint scheme F-9 with large shield logo on side. I sent it back and recieved same set but in Santa Fe Warbonnet. That winter at a Sears store in Indio ,California where my parents spent their winters I found the Revell Rapido set on a shelf and promptly bought it. Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake, Utah.
