Yes, for sure..as a Toy Buyer for a Department store, he watched me play with the train set in the Toy Dept at the Anderson Newcomb Dept Store in Huntington, WV. So Santa took action and in 1954 at the age of 9...I received the Lionel 682 Steam engine set...the rest is history. When I got interested in other things, he careful stored it all away and 30 years later got them out and I still run old 682 to this day.
