Wasn't it in the fifties that the phrase "Never buy a car made on a Monday or a Friday" turned up? So much for fondly remembered US made quality.
What about "planned obsolescence?" Oy.
Many of us tend to see the past through rose colored glasses. "The older I get the better I was." But it ain't necessarily so. I can never be a kid again but I can at least pretend to be one.
My trains are strictly nostalgia items, nothing more, nothing less. I even run my HO and N on conventional DC. However, I am delighted that so many folks can find so much pleasure in today's trains and methods of operation.
