Andre, even though I only run scale trains now, I still have a love for the 50s Lionel and will never loose it. I remember going into Browns Dept. store in Mill Valley Ca. and just sitting in front of a wall of Lionel trains. I wanted an Alco Erie so bad. I alway asked my Pop for it but he would just say you have an engine now why do you want another one. I did save my money an bought a full size Madison car for 10 bucks. Wish I could have bought all of them. I thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world. Still have it. A good friend I'm helping is giving me a mint set of the green 027 cars from the 40's. I'm going to run it around the tree this Christmas with my 2026 I got in 1948. Have a great night. Don
