BUT, it could have been on both
It most definitely was the Winky Dink show and it was hosted by one Jack Barry who later was a noted game show host. I was born in 1947 and I had my plastic cover which fit over our little TV screen and participated in Winky Dik's adventures every Saturday morning. I also watched good old Captain Kangaroo as well but for the life of me I can't recall the Lionel Trains. Great memories from a a simpler childhood time.
