i was thinking when i  was looking through the T&F train sets, how about making a 'flying kipper' set? it would be henry, 5 ventlated vans, a brakevan, oval of trak  controler, and possibaly cranky.
how would that be? ??? ??? ???

Sorry to burst your bubble, but wouldn't fish need INSULATED vans instead of ventilated vans?

RBMN #425 Fan

i think cranky kinda puts it over the price limit  ;)

Sure HiT puts fish in open wagons.. Doesn't mean it's proper railway practice. :P

Why? He's not expensive from my memory (take note that I got him ages ago).

he costs $33 directly from the bachmann website

and i added up the cost of every thing and i got a total of...
$241
(without the controller but including the oval of track and Cranky) for this set :-\
and im sure they would add more so they could actually make money for themselves, not just being spent on making the stuff :(

That's not terrible considering this would be the biggest set made. About 6 trucks, an engine, and a piece of scenery with an oval: Not bad for ~ $250.

Yes, along with James' Freight set, the 6 ton wagon, RF container wagon, and the red express coaches.
