I have the promotional set made for the Ford Motor company employees in the early 1990s running around the tree .
last month I had the opportunity to rejuvenate a gentleman's set from 1948. It included a 2026 with whistling tender, a Sunoco 2 dome tanker, a NYC 6454 box car and an SP non lighted caboose and a 75 watt Lionel transformer. It was fun to get that train to go again after years of sitting in a box in the attic. When the Gentleman saw the train running again in all its glory, He paid the nicest compliment when he said to me " you make me feel like a boy again!"
I wanted you to know that tonight, this train was running around a tree in their grandchildren's home to the delight of their grandaughters and the proud and happy Grandpa.
Merry Christmas too all children, young and old.
