My Grandmother gave me my Grandad's Lionel and Marx sets after he passed away in 1960. I didn't receive another set until the late 1990s at which time I received two. One was a Lionel tinplate passenger set circa 1917-1927 which is headed up by a 153 engine and which still runs great. That set was given to me by my wife's cousin with the explanation that the set belonged to her father and she wanted it to have a good home. The other was a tinplate Marx freight set manufactured around 1948 which was given to me by a co-worker of my wife with the same thought in mind. This set also still runs very well. I have been very fortunate.
