1. This is a look at the explosion of Lionel (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) cars from the 1970’s and early 80’s: the (_ _ _) era.
2. The Nos. 9850 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) “King of (_ _ _ _ _)”, 9851 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _), “The Beer That Made (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _)” and 9852 (_ _ _ _ _ _) “High Life” cars used the (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) developed in 1954 for the No. 6672 (_ _ _ _ _ - _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) refrigerator car.
3. Like the three (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) advertising popular brands of (_ _ _ _), three other cars were (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) in 1972.  The Nos. 9855 (_ _ _ _ _ ’ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _), 9853 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) Jack, which had a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) body in 1972 which became (_ _ _ _ _) in 1973 and an update to an icon.
4. The No. 9854 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) Baby (_ _ _ _) finally put the name of “America’s (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Candy (_ _ _)” on a (_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _) sized car.  It was the first of (_ _ _ _ _) cars of this type which included the Nos. 9816 (_ _ _ _ _ ‘ _) Candy and 9817 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) Bubble Gum cars of 1980.
5. Some may ask why (_ _ _ _) Glass jars, (_ _ _ _ _ _) corn chips and Arm & (_ _ _ _ _ _) baking soda (car Nos. 5705, 9884 & 9812) travel in (_ _ _ _) comfort while (_ _ _ _ _ _), (_ _ _) and (_ _ _ _ _) (car Nos. 9743, 9744 & 9745), three (_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _) products, traveled in ordinary (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) in 1974 & 75.  (_ _ _ _ _) Cola came cold in 1982’s No. 9831.  Just sayin‘.
6. Using tooling purchased from (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _), the Nos. 9802 Miller, 9807 (_ _ _ _ _ ‘ _) and 9825 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) beer cars plus the Nos. 9809 (_ _ _ _ _) Bar and 9805 (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _) Western 1:48 (_ _ _ _ _) cars were probably ahead of their time.
7. Three of the eight cars from the No. 6-1585 “75th (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Special” of 1975 honored “breakthrough (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) developments” on the No. 7502 car, “most popular (_ _ _ _ _ _ _)” on the 7503 and “Lionel company (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _)” on the 7507 model.
8. In 1981 Lionel produced (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) 5700 series cars which included the Nos. 5707 American (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Transit, 5701 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ ‘ _) League and 5703 North American (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) “(_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _)” plus an uncataloged version of the No. 5700 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Sausage Casings car produced for the Ozark division of the TCA.
9. The Favorite (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) reefers are great for this kind of puzzle because there are names like (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _), (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) AND (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _) (car Nos. 9847, 9843 & 9844) to challenge you with.  Especially the spelling of the 9844 car.
10. Personally I like the cars from the (_ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _) set.  The Nos. 7509 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _), 7510 Red (_ _ _ _ _ _ _), 7511 (_ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _), 7512 Arthur (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ‘ _), 7513 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) and 7514 (_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _) blend well with the Nos. 8160 GP-20 and 6449 (_ _ _ _ _ ‘ _) N5c.
