I wrote about one product above, that was only one of several l think were peaks above the valleys. I was happily collecting components of my childhood set when l heard that Williams, year forgotten, about 1985??, had offered an actual, scale appearing, Mikado. (My dad had fired Mikados). Was time to look at the brands with knuckle couplers! I chased one down on my one trip to the Altoona show. Other peaks for me were some 3rd Rail steamers, K-Line's Heavyweights and metal streamliners, and with "different" steamers, offering hope for a variety of prototypes, MTH offered passenger car sets (and their components!) with a variety of roadnames, and there have been later, even recent, peaks l noted, as the offering of the GW/Strasburg #90. So, hang in there.....
