Like many in the '50's and '60's I had my small share of a couple AF sets and additions of cars and accessories to enjoy. Plus Dad and I built a small L-shaped layout. After-Christmas sales at the department store would yield a few more NEW cars at a buck each!
Dad was a hardware salesman who knew many distributors. Thus, I also ended up getting new dealer catalogs to study and dream. A couple Lionel items really caught my eye. I can get one now but I really loved the yellow Timken box car back then. The pickle car was also a nice piece.
So what, back then, would you have wanted in the AF line that was made by Lionel?
Phil
