First, the nostalgic bit about an O-gauge Lionel train set in the Fifties and, second, what do they look like now. Daddy-O, you will probably buying that train set today for yourself. Wow.
My ol' Dad was going off on Rock God of Genetics tours around the world and he did that quite a bit. As the eldest and greediest at maybe seven or eight years old, Doc and I had high interest because he always brought cool stuff back with him.
After a long stint which required some significant time in America, he flew back to Sydney really packin'.
He would never be able to top the coolness of that event since he brought back an O-gauge Lionel train set.
The locomotive was so large it took both greedy li'l arms to carry it. As I remember it working out, Doc and I were each clutching one of these large train vehicles in that way after, most likely, quarreling for some while over who should carry what.
So it went that we stumbled our way out of the airport (i.e. aerodrome) with our new treasures.
We were quite young and later were highly impressed to see a train set filling the garage. My ol' Dad most likely did all the building since we were young and useless so we probably spent more time wrecking it than helping.
From that time forward, America was Lionel train sets and Walt Disney.
So you want that experience now, Daddy-O?
Well ...
here's the link to Lionel's home and do take a look at the VisionLine for the ultimate in O-gauge hardware.
Oh, by the way, do take a look at prices before reaching for the VISA card since the locomotive alone can easily top two thousand dollars.
This train set is not for Dennis the Menace anymore.
Lionel has not abandoned HO-gauge for kids starting out but we're most glad to see they haven't cut and have actually instead increased the quality of their best. If you want quality then you will have to pay for it because we won't chip away at it just to make the cut.
Most exceptionally fair enough even when I can't hope of affording it. I'm glad to know they exist and they continue to stand for excellence, maybe like the Rolls Royce of rolling stock.
