QUOTE: Originally posted by espeefoamer I have been to a number of hobby shops in my area, and have not seen the Sponge Bob or the Elvis train sets. Are they Lionel?

Not quite true: they may not have had postwar trains themselves, but they do know the name. All the others are no-names to the general public. 100 years of history cannot be replicated by Sponge Bob (ESPECIALLY not by Sponge Bob).

As to the longevity of Sponge Bob, I ask where are the Smurfs and their obnoxious song. (if you liked that song, I would suggest that you will really like riding a Small, Small World at a Disney Theme Park. [:D][}:)]) It's a world of laughter, a world of tears It's a world of hope, and a world of fears There's so much that we share That it's time we're aware It's a small world after all. (You asked for it!)
