Favorite 9V Train Set

[WesternOutlaw]

There hasn't been much activity on this side of the tracks, so I'm posting this poll.

What's your favorite 9V Train Set?

[xwingyoda]

SANTA FE!!!!!!!!!

Its kind of neat to have real trains that do exist!!!

Here is a suggestion for TLC: have a new adventurers line with an Orient Express set (black and dark green with a golden line).

[The Middleman]

Cargo. It's so detailed and just... cool.

[WesternOutlaw]

It's hard for me to vote because I have a few favorites, but I like the Cargo, Santa Fe, and BNSF. I particularly like the cargo because of the green pieces, the box car, and the fact that it's a complete set (with extras like the switch track).

[WesternOutlaw]

I'd love to see an Orient Express, a nice classy passenger train that would go great with the Adventurers theme. Even an American Orient Express with blue, white, and yellow colors would be nice. The Super Chief was a great engine, but the cars were just so plain (as is the real train). I like color.

I voted the BNSF :-D

[WesternOutlaw]

I would have liked to include some of the others mentioned above, but polls have a 10 choice limit.

[medib]

Ahhh... Sorry. I haven't made use of the polls here...

(as in creating or setting one up)

Santa fe super chief

[Orlego]

I voted for the Santa Fe Super Chief. This has always been my favorite. I had three N-gauge sets when I was a kid and the SF really got me into the Lego train market when they released it. I also love the BNSF but I wish Lego would release rolling stock for it and sell it as the BNSF collection. The Cargo Train is a great traditional Lego train set and really the best value. I also have a warm place in my heart for the Metroliner but Lego charges way too much for this set.

[Jipay]

He is baccckkkkkk he iss bacckkkkkkkk yeahhaahhhhhhh :')

[Orlego]

Hey Jipay. I feels great to be back. How have you been? Has Vader kept the Army going?

I posted my return here if you did not get to see it.

~Orlego

[Jipay]

vader posted less since you have gone. I think this is related to the fact you were a duo :-D One without the other doesnt make a lot of sense. i'm sure he will be back soon now

[Orlego]

Yeah, we seem to be the Batman and Robin of the Eurobricks Community.

VADER PLEASE COME BACK TO US!!!

If that does not work I will have to sent out the Bat Signal. :D ;)

[WesternOutlaw]

What's interesting in looking at the results of this poll, 38% of people responded with a set that was originally made in 1992 as 1st place. The Sante Fe and Cargo Train tied for 2nd. The Cargo Train reminds me a lot of the early 9V sets. What this leads me to believe is that with all of Lego's new technology, colors, and specialized pieces, some of the older sets were still better.

Lego needs to make more Legends!

[Wolf04]

The Metroliner was the best because it included everything you ever wanted (except the speed regulator). Platform, tons of minifigs, very detailed. Nothing can top it. It is very realisitic, yet very fun to play with.

Unfortunately I was stuck with the Cargo Railway and a couple of MOT sets. I would instantly trade them for a Metroliner with a Club Car.
