The last week in 2011 is our anniversary, and this year my wife finally got me what I wanted. Cash to buy something at my LHS, Locomotion Hobby in Rome, NY.
What I ended up purchasing was an Atlas O Susquehanna Boxcar and a Lionel Merchant Dispatch steel-sided reefer.
Well, when I got home, I was more than pleased with the high level of details on both of these cars, and it blows nearly everything else I have out of the water (except the Lionel Die-Cast NYC Hopper).
I now see that Atlas calls their detailed line "Trainman" and/or "Steam Era Classic"... Is there a "series" name for the Lionel detailed cars, or is it hit & miss?
Thanks,
Mario
