This is the new set with the illuminated "chase light" track, which is fun and works well. The locomotive is massive and barely makes it around the 36 inch diameter track in reverse. Pretty neat idea in the case of the "chase lights." Not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure.
One of the features I didn't realize was that one of the included straight tracks (Fastrack) has a connector so you can directly plug an accessory into the track instead of separate wiring to a transformer. Nice feature to keep things simple and as wire free as possible. Might get one of the Area 51 accessories to go with the set. Just to see how plug and play works. Suspect it works well, although limited by the wattage of the set wall wart power supply.
