>>10203706I would be on the lookout for the 2018 trains while they are still available. Both 60198 and 60197 have an older type of bogie with metal axle, that was swapped for 'all-new' plastic on plastic design. The selling point is better performance in curves, however they have more overall friction (that leads to faster wear).
From the current lineup tho, I'd choose the 60336 cargo, much more playability and better variation of functions. The passenger one looks gimmicky and awful, the front looks like thrown together using parts from 3kg randomized bin from facebook mom and not like something a sane person would design - there are curves that go into stepped corners and end with gaps around the canopy.
As for the station I might pick one up later at a clearance or a discount preferably (I like the bus esp.)
