"His business success derived as much from his PASSION for those products, as well as his business acumen, regardless of whether he took the products home, or even in retirement!"
Still, not a "train guy" in the sense people use it here. Mike Wolf is a train guy. He had "Lionel" placed on his chimney and built the models himself. I believe he at some point had a collection of standard gauge trains.
Does this matter? Not in the least. Nonetheless, some people over the decades and to this date want to deride Lionel for not having enough "train guys" in charge 
. These people are utterly ignorant about the history of the industry and their comments make no rational sense to me. I use JLC as an example that you don't need to be a "train guy" (neither was AC Gilbert or Dick Maddox) to run a company that makes fabulous toy trains.
