I have too many, but the hunt will never end. Purchase boundaries are that items should be postwar Lionel, fit well on a 1957 era layout and are in good to excellent condition...and fit my wallet. I avoid Scale sized items and am waiting for the next train show so I can unload tinplate and non-Lionel. We have been, like many of you, running trains since the 1940's, wherever we live, no matter the size of the room (or basement or attic). As careers began and wives came along, multiple sets went to AZ, a few more to CT, and my last bedroom in NY became Dad's layout. Today, all of that, and MUCH more are reunited under one roof, and bit by bit is being passed along to the 'new' career makers and their spouses. Sister just got her 1930's Red Comet going again this month....isn't this what it is all about? No, we never have enough... as long as we pass them down the line.
