To date there have been ten President's Choice Train sets, I now have them all. President's Choice is a line of no-name grocery products sold in several grocery chains, like Loblaws and No frills. The Insider's Report was a flyer advertizing the new products. The President's Choice line has expanded to include hundreds of the best stuff, including several limited edition trains sets which wear only sold at stores in Canada. All are manufactured by IHC / Mehano and feature some Canadian historic train or other Canadian elements. All are or were Limited Editions

The first President's Choice train sets come out for Christmas 1992, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the line of products and the Insider's Report. I think there was a plan to realese a new one every year for Christmas. However, they kinda droped the ball for 1996, 2000, 2003 and 2004.

Please Note:
I am not selling these train sets, nor can I hook you up with someone who is, if you are looking to find some of these sets I can recommend that that you look at on-line auctions like eBay and Yahoo, also I have seen them at train shows and rail fairs, usually for a high suggested price but you can barter them down to a fair market value.

I"ve put this information on-line to make it available for those who are wanting to know this stuff.

Further to this info I have compiled a list of the Rail Cars and Locomotives in all the President's Choice Train Sets.
