I don't get why people like the post-war look, looks toyish to me, but that's just my opinion . Can you guys tell me why you like it?

I'm 40years old. I think it was during my senior year, that Lionel had announced the Post War Celebration Series. I had really come to enjoy it, and seeing what was in it became a highlight for me. It as an above poster said, reminds me of a simpler time when they didn't have to be so realistic, and all Lionel was made for children. Oh and btw, I'm also into scale models of what you see on the real thing today too. Watching my GG1s, Berks, and F3s rolling past Lionel accessories, and Plasticville buildings is just as exciting as watching my ES44s and AC4400s pulling scale freight past realistic scenery and buildings.
