First of all, I would like to say Hello and say that I have enjoyed reading some of your posts.
I have recently caught the O gauge bug and have been doing a lot of research and question asking and have decided on a new Lionel set. I am interested in the Keystone Super Freight set #6-30000. I chose this set because of the features for when I get serious about the hobby.
The problem is is that I am having a hard time finding a place to get the set for a decent price and I figured you folks would be able to help me out. I will be using the local places for all the accessories, cars, and track, but no one has a set in stock and if they do, it’s over suggested retail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Robert

Here you go, trainworld has it for $385. Trainworld is a reputable dealer and you should have no trouble with them. Plus thier prices are great!
[#welcome] to the forum and have fun!
Thanks! Yea, I ran across that in my search and thought it was a good price also. I just didn’t want to jump at something too quickly in case there were better deals to be had. I figured you guys would know of someone with “the killer deal” . I would’ve been kicking myself if I had just impulsively bought something and then came here and realized I could of gotten it much cheaper. Anyone else?

Trainworld is pretty much the cheapest deal around. Although you may want to check ebay before you buy it. Surprisingly though, a lot of times items on ebay go for more than trainworld charges. I guess some enterprising MRR could use that to his advantage, buy on trainworld, sell on ebay. Although I think that would be a risky buissiness.
Here’s a direct link to your trainset…
