  1. In 1949 American Flyer developed the No. 758A (_ _ _ - _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _).  The equally cool No. 23780 (_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) arrived in Flyerville in 1958.
  2. Henry (_ _ _ _ _) received patents for three accessories Lionel released in 1940. The Nos. 164 (_ _ _) Loader, 165 Triple Action (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _) and 313 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) Bridge.
  3. The largest accessory made by any manufacturer in the early 1930’s was the (_ _ _ _ _ _) No. 444.  Maybe not so big by itself, but if you combined (_ _ _ _ _) No. 444 segments, a No. 200 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and some No. 444-18 (_ _ _ _ _), you could model a full circle (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _).  Which was a truly massive accomplishment!
  4. To load (_ _ _ _ _ _), Lionel manufactured the No. 6-2175 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) in 1979.  It became an (_ _ _) loader as the No. 6-12712 later in it’s catalog run.
  5. Another addition to the Lionel line in 1979 was the No. 6-2317 Remote Control (_ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _).  Not quite a 313 but still neat.
  6. What became the American Flyer No. 779 (_ _ _ - _ _ _ _) Loader was rejected by Lionel, who developed their own Operating (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Platform in 1957 as the No. 264.
  7. The No. 350 Engine (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Table was cataloged from 1957 to 1960 and included a (_ _ _ _) button remote (_ _ _ _ _ _ _).
  8. The 1928 version of the No. 128 Station and (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) included the No. 124 Lionel (_ _ _ _) model atop the No. 129, which was 3 inches longer than the No 300 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) bridge.
  9. Lionel’s No. 6-12726 (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) came in kit form, as did the No. 6-12711 (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _) as shown in the 1988 catalog.
  10. A publicity photo for the No. 175 Rocket (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) shows the No. 175-50 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) replaced with casings from real (_ _ _ _ _ _ _).
  11. The No. 397 Diesel (_ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _) was great for making a mess.  But to really annoy your parents you needed the No. 465 with it’s (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _).  That accessory evolved into the No. 419 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) in 1962.
  12. You would throw a (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _) to control trains when using a Lionel No. 439 (_ _ _ _ _) Board.
