....I still have a love for the 50s Lionel and will never loose it....
I understand, Don, boy do I understand.
I enjoyed your reminisce. I agree about the Erie Alco's: One of Lionel's classiest scheme renditions ever. (Those Erie's in the pic are in excellent condition!)
I've denied/disciplined myself for several years now to not sink money into PW again (I've had three acquire/sell off cycles since the 1990s)... but my attraction for it just won't go away. SO, I've promised myself that this time, no matter what, I will NOT sell off any PW I acquire.
Now, I don't intend to get silly with it like I did in the 1990s... but I would like to have a very nice selection of PW steam engines, a few cast frame FA's... and some rolling stock that compliments my late-40s/early-50s era and theme choices. I have a small space that I can use for a semi-permanent layout... but that's on down the track before I need to decide on that.
You have a great night, too, Don.
Andre
