I just told my wife the other night that I'd like to find a pallet full of those. Let them run laps around the barn. Age gap played a part as she didn't get it. She never knew anyone with a set.

I still have a Lionel Thomas the train set in the box from i think 92 . Newer but still a classic . I actually got it out last fall and tried to get it going for my daughter but the transformer is pretty much shot . For any of you that ever heard of the " worlds largest cookoo clock" it used to be located at the Alpine Alpa restaurant in Wilmot ohio , I helped clean it up before they restored it . The place closed two years later , anyhow Dave they had a train that ran the whole way around the eating area all mimicking the swiss alps , it was the coolest thing I've ever seen Train wise I wish I had some pictures of it.

That pic has to be around 1970. Set it up and it still works.

Here's a couple I managed to snag offline from postcards you can pretty much get the idea. If I ever get a bigger house or something I'd like to get one setup
