I only run postwar stuff. I like the "mechanicalness" of the trains and find it a relief from today's electronic society. My Dad's '46 2020 is the loudest engine I have and remarkably, my stamped tin Marx 898 is my quietest. In this day of disposable stuff, I like the fact that my trains are pretty much all older than me and they keep right on running. Running around in circles a lot like I seem to do as well!
