Strummer, Glenn...
Bingo! My wife has been into trains ever since our first date about 28 years ago. But MTH's display of tinplate in Orange Hall at York through the years really captured her attention.
To wit, when she saw the O gauge 'girls' train...she says its her Easter Train!...she HAD to have it, ordering it when we returned home from that particular York meet.
Then, she saw the LCT redo of the Blue Comet..."I want that!"...ditto.
Dad's first trainset, the Lionel 366W...1835 engine, three 300-series 2-tone blue passenger cars...had followed me into this marriage. It was mostly a revered shelf queen in the house. But after the above events, 'we' had to have some 500-series freight cars...bright, shiny, colorful, nickel-plated features, one of each type, etc., etc...
The search, the search...must do the search.
And so it went...goes.
"Pushed a button"?...indeed!
