The "Great Lakes Express"--pictured by Skip on the previous page--has long been one of my favorites. I have that set, given to me by someone very special in my life and still in pristine condition, and it ranks high on the short list of trains I will never part with. I think I was most attracted by the green passenger cars that closely resembled what I remembered seeing years earlier in postwar catalogs, but I also, for whatever reason, also like that light gray small steamer.
