When I was a little boy, I wanted a Lionel train set so badly. Ma got me a set made of tin, four cars, they went in a small circle. Just holding one car from a Lionel set, was so heavy and smelled wonderful. They were keen on detail as well. My tin cars were painted! When I received that set, I began to grow up. My innocence began slipping away. I was so disappointed. Actually, I never knew anyone who owned a Lionel set. You needed a whole room to set one up. Cary Grant movie, "People Will Talk" comes to mind. There were no kids in that movie. Adults were playing with the trains.

train sets have a very big positive impact on all of our childhoods and are one of the things many of us take for granted

Germany makes fine toys and realistic scale models.

I had a big Lionel train system when I was little. Well made and heavy. Would be worth so much today and a joy to my grandchildren.

WaldoLydeker, Actually there was a kid in the film and the train was his, but the adults took over playing with. My brother had an electronic train with a short track in the early 50s but not the expensive type
