As a student of History, I learned 20/20 hindsight is perfect, but we must study a situation with what was known at the time. MPC was the main event from 1971 to about 1988 or so. Those were our choices. Purists looked down at MPC at the time, comparing it unfavorably to Post War Lionel. I was one of them. But, I learned to accept the evolution of a great hobby. We still go forward. I have MPC, Post War, Pre-War and Legacy. Love all trains, as they are representative of a certain period of time. There's both good and bad and in between. To quote Boris Johnson, "Them's the breaks." Moral: enjoy trains. There's always something new coming down the tracks.
