I am not getting a set for christmas. I asked for the Lionel camelback. If you have a layout, add new engines. Try Trainworld/trainland or JusTrains tor camelbacks priced around $225.00

#2 for play value.

I agree with palallin, I got one and works and looks fine in hoboville.

a lot depends on your tastes. If it were me, I would steer to the N&W set because it is sleek and handsome.

#2 is a cool set. Just be aware it does not come with RailSounds. Set #1 does.

Comedy polar express option.

i’d go with the hobos, then again, that’s just me. hobos are cool.

NYC with railsounds. I love the 4-4-2’s. They go and go and go.

Then purchase some extra track and some cool accessories.

I’ve seen the heliport at real low prices.

Or an MTH sawmill/lumberloader - very cool.

Are you going to move into or already have Command Control? If you ever think you might get DCS then I would go with the MTH sets because you can use them on a DCS equipped layout if they are PS2. Lionel starter sets have yet to have TMCC included.

I’d definetly go with the N&W J or the Blue Comet if it was me deciding on which set I wanted for Christmas. I love sleek colourful passenger sets. But, like 3railguy says, it depends on your tastes.

I like the NYC limited

I’d go for the Blue Comet myself.
