Nick,
Do you remember the trains displays at Halle Brothers 7th floor toyland in Cleveland? I remember when Super O came out. Oh to have had a camera. (Keep in mind I'm 68).

LOU, I remember Hallies Downtown! We used to go down at a very very early age. Higbees - May Co And Halle's.

We only knew the small trains sets we had, so when we seen those displays our eyes swelled into tennis balls.

I remember how many people there were down there it had to be in the tens of thousands.

I can remember going to sleep at night and dreaming of those trains. I asked god to let Christmas last forever. redb moon Nick
