Overpass Way Shinkansen Rail Set

When first seeing this new release I wasn't much interested in it as I have tons of Gray Track and also tons of the special gray Elevated Rail Piers/Risers. It wasn't until Tharazero1 mentioned to me that this set has the very hard to find (until now) long radius outside gray curves that peaked my interest. I had 3 of these LR curves but wanted to add more for those hard to fit places in a Layout. They really do come in handy. There are 8 of them in this set. What is strange is that this was only released in March of this year but seems to be hard to come by now. Anyone wanting to amass some gray rails this may be the set for you. The set also includes 6 pairs of red Gantry's of a design that I have not seen before. They actually come in 2 pieces and can be snapped together in the middle or used as a solo pole to cover more tracks.

I do have a couple nit pickings with this...
Why the Yellow Piers/Risers? Why not the light gray ones that they have produced in the past? The yellow looks out of place.
Why the gray Special Elevated Rail Piers/Risers when there are no elevated rails? These look out of place when using them on normal tracks and they don't always fit right.
Lastly the red Gantrys don't fit snugly on the top of the yellow piers so they easy can fall over. Why not have them hug the posts a little? as I was typing this I wonder if there is a reason
       Just cane to mind that if a child had a floor Layout and accidentally kicked one of these it would just fall over and not upset the rails and pier.

All in all, a great set if you like the gray's and you can find it.
