actually, I misread the topic, and it didn't dawn on me when I was responding.

As much as I enjoy post war trains, if I am stranded on an island, I think, given a choice, I would probably go with Hallie Berry.

Frank, you owe me a keyboard!  I just blew water out of my nose all over the one I was using!  (Ouch!)

Personally I like my William's products, and my post war Lionel KW transformers the best.  (But I'd save the cat before the trains if the house was on fire.)

They are well built, and just keep working.

I also like my Lionel O-27 4-4-2 diecast steamer that came with a starter set.  It has been through a ton of abuse and has even served time as an experimental aircraft.  Sort of the Timex of my roster.

I would stand in the train room and fight the fire... a Captain goes down with the ship!  Captain [4:-)]

If I didn't do that I would probably die from being burnt to death running in and out to get as much as I could, If I couldn't do that I would most likely die of a broken heart...
