There was definitely an O gauge train renaissance starting about 1976 or so when MPC brought out their commemorative GM50 GP-9 that was painted gold. I think it is ending now with the closing of MTH, although other observers may put the beginning and ending at different times than I do. I used to envy those who were around during Lionel's golden age that took place in the fifties, but, I believe the time we have just come through over the last 45 years has been the best time to be in the hobby. It has certainly been a great ride for me, at least.
