Penny Trains wrote the following post yesterday: SUPERBOWL MATCH UP Lionel and Flyer go head to head!

Not really a fair match up ya know.  The flyer is knuckles from the loco to the front half of the tank car and links from the rear half to the caboose!  Smile, Wink & Grin  Not to mention the high end features of the Lionel's vs. the starter set equipment of the Chicago upstart.  But the similar cars parked next to each other made for an interresting photo-op.  Big Smile

Trains, trains, wonderful trains.  The more you get, the more you toot!  Big Smile

At least Lionel never blew it's substantial points lead.

And here I was expecting some Yankees to get burned by Atlanta, for a change!

That looks very nice Penny! A Lionel and an American Flyer side by side. I have mainly Lionel & MTH trains in O gauge(over 110 freight and passenger cars & 18 engines), have 4 American Flyer engines and almost 20 freight cars in S gauge.

Fun photos Jim. They bring back fun memories of the running flamingo gags that appeared in Sunday Photo Fun.  If I remember correctly Fife was at the root of many of them. Wink In 2008 I posted a story and photos entiled Flamingos Invade.Here are some of the photos I used to illustrate the story.
