I think you and CTT were not a very good match, anyway. CTT is (or was) for collectors of prewar and postwar Lionel and Flyer. People who don't take the accuracy of their trains too seriously.
I agree, though, some of those trailing 4 wheel tracks with the different size wheels almost touching look pretty silly in retrospect.
