Reply to "The Christmas Story Movie & Trains"

Thanks Guys, for all of the information and comments. As to the time frame of this movie, I figured it was sometime around the very early 40's. As for me, I was born in August of 1948 and was introduced to trains from the get-go as my dad worked for the SP as a signal maintainer. when I was about 4 or so my mom would take me out to a siding North of town called Plain Port and we would meet my dad and he would let me ride to town with him on his speeder. Like I said earlier, my dad was into HO scale and that was what I got for Christmas. I do remember as plain as day going down and viewing the trains in the store windows and in the garden area of Sears to watch the big layout they had set up and wishing I would get a Lionel for Christmas. Now its time for me to give myself those presents I never got, therefore the reason for the questions.

For the gentlemen named laming, is this none other than Mr. Andre Ming that used to be in Sn3 at one time? If so Andre, please contact me off list at sptrainnut@att.net.

Thanks again guys, I appreciate all the help.
