When I was a small urchin, I wanted a Lionel F3 locomotive. Didn't really care if it had passenger cars or freight...I just wanted that dang F3 loco. Times being what they were in the 50s, I ended up with a 3 car American Flyer steam loco set with chuffing sound. The box car doors didn't open and it was probably the cheapest set AF made. Now, I lost count of the F3 locos I currently have. Probably compensation for what i couldn't have back then.
