So many cool postwar things I’ve picked up lately, but here’s a start: Lucked into this absolutely clean 1119 Scout Set. It’s simply delightful, especially for a toy train runner like me. Also, a page from the 1951 catalog referencing this set, which I believe was made fro 49 to 52.

Reminds me that I eventually have to replace the drive gears in my brother's Scout (same model).  He and his friends drove it down a flight of stairs when we were kids.  It also has no headlight, but I am pretty sure it didn't come with one.  Just a hole.
