Here from 1973 is my very first Lionel train. I received this for Christmas of 1975, it was new/old stock from the old Brendle's department store in Elkin, North Carolina. I believe it still has a price tag on the side of the box cover but I didn't think to get a picture of it. When not in use I always stored it in the original box under the my bed. Some where I still have the envelope with all of the paper work that goes with it. Still runs quite well but it's been awhile since I've last had it on the track. The SOS unfortunately no longer works.
Here is one of my more recent acquisitions. I've been collecting 9700 series boxcars for years and I like to have the boxes for them. Since this set contains three 9700 cars I just went ahead and bought the whole set. I was very fortunate that it was in such great shape.
