Well, not really a topic, but about a year, maybe two, maybe even three ago someone linked a YouTube video of a toy train promo film done around 1972. Ward Kimball was featured and he was holding an O Gauge model of an Alco PA diesel.
The thing that got us all going was just WHO made that model? It certainly wasn't Lionel and MTH hadn't come on the scene yet. There was a lot of speculation on everyone's part but lo and behold a YouTube channel I subscribe to may have given us the answer!
Here's Leonard Williams and his vintage Alco PA. (And thanks Leonard!)

He's even got some stuff from the 1890s! And it still works!

Same me, different spelling!
