On page 16 of the Target store Sunday supplement is a picture of a boy's room. On the floor is an old Marx train set. Nice touch....

Just out of curiosity, what exactly was the set? We don't have Target stores here in Canada and so I don't have access to see this.

Thanks for the info. That's certainly interesting that they used that set for the ad. It's too bad that target doesn't actually sell toy trains.
