I have to chuckle when I see the Disney series.  In the late '70s, I was browsing in Two Guys Department store.  In the toy department of course.  They had quite a bit of MPC Lionel on the shelves, including all of the Disney cars out up to that time.  A woman was a few feet away admiring the Disney box cars.  She remarked, "Aren't these cute".  Then I noticed her look at the price and she promptly put it back on the shelf.  I suspected that she had thoughts of buying some cars and a loco for her child that was with her.  I don't recall what the prices were but I wasn't ready to spend money on Disney cars at that point.  In those days work was scarce for a carpenter in Philly.  I was on unemployment and looking for a job, so any train purchases were an extreme luxury.
