1. The (_ _ _ _ _ _) Nos. 671 and 2020 models of the (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) 6200 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) were among the first locomotives to use Lionel’s new (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _).
2. (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _) locos had their smoke units mounted (_ - _ - _), smoke-in-(_ _ _ _ _ _), or (_ - _ - _), smoke-in-boiler.
3. The 1946 No. 726 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) came with a hinged (_ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _), (_ _ _ _ _ _) handrail stanchions and a die-cast (_ _ _ _ _) without a simulated (_ _ _ _ _ _ _).
4. The No. 773 (_ _ _ _ _ _) of 1950 used the same movable (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _) and hinged door as the 726, but avoided the Berk’s (_ _ _ _) and (_ _ _ _ _ _) E-Unit arrangement.
5. Gilbert’s “(_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _)”, a 4-8-4 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _), produced that great flyer (_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _) sound.
6. Lionel favored the 2-4-2 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) type loco for their (_ _ _ _ _) and starter sets while Flyer preferred the 4-4-2 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) for entry level offerings.
7. The A.F. (_ - _ _ _ _) 4-6-2 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) is a more accurate model than Lionel’s No. 675 O-gauge 2-6-2 or either the Nos. 2025 or 2035 O27 2-6-4’s.  But maybe kids didn’t notice since the Pennsy only built (_ _ _) real locomotives of that type.
8. The No. 675’s (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _) drivers gave way for (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _)-iron wheels in 1952, yet the locomotive did not receive (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _).
9. The 1957 No. 746 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) & (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) model of a (_ _ _ _ _ - _) was the last of the great Lionel postwar steamers.
10. The original hand-made model of what became the 746 had a separately (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) on it’s bullet-shaped nose that Lionel omitted.
11. (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) tenders like the Nos. 2046W and 2671WX had a water (_ _ _ _ _) underneath.
12. The A.F. No. 300AC’s tender was lettered for both the (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) Railroad and American Flyer.
13. The buzz of the 2 or 3 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ - _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) mechanisms is a fond memory for baby boomers.
14. Flyer’s (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _) streamlined 4-6-2 (an S-gauge revamp of a prewar O-gauge loco) became the red No. 353 for the 5002T (_ _ _ _ _ _) Train Set.
15. Like the 2-4-2, the 2-6-2 (_ _ _ _ _ _) type was the motive power for many Lionel (_ _ _ _ _) O27 starter sets.
16. The No. 1665 of 1946 is perhaps the most sought-after postwar steam (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _).  It’s No. 2403B die-cast (_ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _) tender featured a ringing bell and a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) coal pile.
17. With their (_ _ _ _) boilers, flashing (_ _ _ _), glinting marker light (_ _ _ _ _ _), flag (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and beaming headlights, postwar steamers were the stuff dreams were made of.  Just as advertising featuring the No. 1872 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) suggested.
