How many miles on your '02 Matt?

I've been playing with trains today.
My son and I won an auction for some LGB train stuff on the GW site. Free shipping, well $.01 might as well be free. First box came the day before yesterday. I'm impressed with the robustness of LGB train cars. The box was not well packed, but all survived for the most part. So today I was washing all the cars and track since they were really dirty. Kind of surprised me that toys this pricey can end up the way these did.
Here's an example of my cleaning efforts.
This is a circus train sound car before cleaning:


This is it after I put it back together:


Not all the cars were that dirty, but most had some sort of stuff on them.
While I was out in the garage cleaning, the FedEx guy stopped by, and, to my surprise, dropped off another box from the same order

It was filled with more track!



We also lucked out and got two cars with sound and a sound system that is stand alone that has both steam and diesel sound, and it WORKS!



Couldn't believe he got that lucky, but he did.
All this for under $200.
