Turning 67 today, "Golden Age" is a mixed term. As a youth I was smitten by the 2900 series freight cars, which I learned about from my father's catalogs. I love my 226E 291W set, to which I have added 2 tanks, hopper, and box--to me the pinnacle of Lionel production. Yet this train runs only around the Christmas tree. My large basement layout is focused on B&O operations, and welcomes Williams, Lionel, MTH, Weaver, K-Line, and unknowns. I'm thankful for what has been made, and optimistic for what still may be made.
