Some of my most prized possessions, purchased at train shows, have little to do with trains: Howdy Doody marionette, Gilbert Chemistry Set, and Gilbert Erector Set--all in pristine condition--and a beautifully reconditioned 1908 Western Electric Cathedral Telephone. All had resonated me for various sentimental reasons but they were items that I never had on my train-show shopping list. This one of the reasons why I like going to the train shows. You just never know what you might find.
