Rebuilding a Ghost Train just might work for the TV reality show format.

Lionel is more nostalgic....they built shit to last. My dad bought a set in 1953 and it was what I grew up with under the Christmas tree every year. The locomotive to that set still works 61 years after he purchased it. Yeah the track was shitty and always coming apart unless you had the locking clips. Now 10 years ago I bought the Polar Express set for the kids and it happens to be a very nice set and the track has been vastly improved. It has the roadbed built in for extra support and locks tight. You can pick up the whole oval and move it.

My lifelong friend posted a video on Facebook of his 59 year old Lionel train running, sets it up every year this time.
