Thanks to Mark Oles we now know there is a new Bass Pro Shops Express Limited run Set.  Bass Pro Shops price $199. 

It has a woodburner with a Rusiam Iron Boiler ans Oxide Red Cab green Tender with gold Stripes and lettering.  It is a standsrd Big Hauler with the version 5 chassis and looks great.  The yelloow Reefer Is yellow with Tuscan Red roof and ends with "Gateway To The Great Outdoors" on the left and a Big Cedar logo on the right, both in green. The car numbers are also on the ends in white.  The caboose is red with a black roof and Bass Pro Express on the letterboards in gold.  Centered on the middle of the sides is the "Redhead Logo in full color.  The caboose in the picture seems to have a tail sign, If true I do not yet inow what is on it.

Bill,

Talking about price, I've noticed that recently, Bachmann sets were well beyond the $150 point for most of the sets.  So, $199 is not all that bad, relative to the current mail order houses. 

I like the paint job on that one too.  Not a specific Christmas or Holiday scheme.  Just a nice scheme that would look at home under a tree, inside or out.

Sean,

You might be crazy, but look on the bright side.  You can have imaginary friends and carry on deep philospohical conversations with them in public. 

As far as the set goes,  it might be an online only kind of a thing.

Hi Guy's,

My local store manager said they would put them out on Nov 9th when their Christmas wonderland opened up.

I will definitely call first before driving all the way down there.
