Reply to "Model trains on TV"

Two episodes of "Leave it to Beaver" featured model trains. (Yeah, I'm old.) In one, a girl lured Wally over to her house to see her father's American Flyer layout. ("My Brother's Girl", S 1, E 27, 1958) The other one had Beaver being pressured by his mother to donate his Lionel set to a younger kid, because he was "too old" to play with it. (He was probably twelve.) ("Beaver's Electric Trains, S 5, E 17, 1962).

One episode of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" has the parents pressuring Ricky to get rid of his old trains, and yet Ozzie and his neighbor regain interest when he brings them out and runs them. The old guys even go to a train store to buy more stuff. The store itself is a typical 1950's train store featuring Lionel.  ("The Electric Train",  S 3, E 15, 1955).
