Yes, Dave, I was indeed very lucky. My dad, in particular, spoiled me rotten, thus the start of my bounty of Lionel trains when I was a kid. I suppose it was because I was the only boy and had two sisters. All the high-end stuff came from my mom and dad, and I bought the smaller Lionel items with money I earned doing all sorts of odd jobs.
