I got a Lionel Amtrak Lake Shore Limited set for christmas one year and the next a boxcab Laser train set. For the third christmas I made strong hints for a Lionel Southern Crescent set but I didn't get it nor any train stuff from my parents ever again. I think they thought it was for my own good as I would prefer to run trains and build models instead of being outside with the neighborhood kids, my mom often said I was a nerd.lol
My Mom felt the same way. If I was running trains, I could not get into trouble. Unless I used the smoke fluid only Pepe LePew woud love: MARX!

Right for me as well, never got a Lionel, but I did get a Marx set one Christmas. Glad to have it. I added a flashlight bulb for a headlight.

Finally got my Lionel's when my son was old enough to play trains with me. Unfortunately, video games were a greater draw rolleyes for him. Me, I stuck with the trains.
