Decades after the modern offerings of today are relegated to shelf queen status, pre and post war Lionel trains will continue to run with the same reliability we have always experienced with these models.
They may not be prototypical, they may all have the same sound set and they may growl like wounded buffalo, but there is magic in those trains that may never be replicated.
Don't see many post about those Pre-war trains running, not that they couldn't just that the folks who had them as children and adults have passed and the interest has naturally passed too.
Once the PW generation is gone it will be the modern stuff, even if converted with the latest command installed controls. It is just going to be a natural event, and many won't even know it occurred. G
