Reply to "Lionel Toy Stores"

Interesting, I never knew Lionel owned Kiddie City. We had one in Feasterville, PA - a great toy and game store in the 1970s till sometime later when they closed - I must have been in the Army at that point. However, I recall they only put out trains around the holidays...or perhaps they were always there and just merchandised them prominently around Christmas . I would study the O-gauge trains intensely as I prepared my list for Santa; and I recall vividly the price tags - $20 to $25 for a boxcar - that amount could buy a whole lot of Matchbox, Hot Wheels, and GI Joe stuff, and knowing what Santa could spend...well trains never made the list Nevertheless, I had great fun with my Dad's Marx set every Christmas season.
