@ChrisJo - I wouldn't know how many there are out there, I only stumbled across this one when I was looking for Thomas Mini's lol. However at the moment I can only see a couple of others at way higher prices I paid and less complete. Although I do need to get another to complete this one as there are a few small pieces missing. But at least I got a box 
@Super - There are as far as I can gather 4 different sets that were made. This set, a 'magnetised' set which is very similar except at the front it has a little window with a stick and the fat controller on it which has a magnet on the other end. Using this you can theoretically move the trains around the tracks etc... The other two sets were the micro fold up pocket sets like the one that Sun found recently.
@Bob - Yes, I think it's great as a display/talking piece, although you'd not want to give it to a kid as it has too many very small pieces. Even the loco's are only just over 1 inch long lol!!

Happily collecting things all my life...
