1. Lionel’s Nos. 2330, 2332, 2340 and 2360 models of the (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) Railroad (_ _ - _ _ _), whether they be (_ _ _ _ _ _) red or (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) green, with five gold or just a single (_ _ _ _ _ _) interrupted by a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) logo, are probably the most popular toy trains ever equipped with a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _).
2. The No. 300 open-sided or “(_ _ _ _ _ _)” (_ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _) car of 1901 and the No. 1000 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) St. R.R. Co. car of 1905 came both with and without a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) pole.
3. (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ ‘ _) Wide Gauge No. 4689 wore plates identifying it as “the (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _)” as it led set No. 1489: the “(_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ‘ _) Special”.  This set, as No. 1499, was known as the “(_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _)” when it was plated with (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _).
4. Ives No. 1088, “The (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _)”, was headed by the No. 3245 C.M. & St. P. (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) locomotive in the 1929 catalog.
5. All three of the leading American toy train manufacturers of the (_ _ _ _ _ _) era had replicas of (_ _ _) (_ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) Railroad (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) locomotives.  The Flyer No. 4689 and Lionel No. 8E were models of a P-Motor and a (_ - _ _ _ _ _) respectively, while the Ives No. 3242 and Lionel No. 408E both model the (_ - _ _ _ _ _).
6. The only Lionel postwar (_ _ _ _ _ _) was the somewhat improbable No. 520 which modeled a (_ _ _ _ _) American (_ _ _ _ _ _) locomotive.
7. If you don’t like the paint scheme on the No. 2350 New (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ - _ _ _ _), you can run the No. 2351 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _), 2352 Pennsy or 2358 (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) instead.
8. Lionel’s set No. 420 of 1917 with the No. 42 (_ _ _ _) and Nos. 18, 19 & 190 passenger cars could be called the ancestor of the (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _) which began with a No. 381E eleven years later.
9. The No. 2329 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) was a model of a (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) Electric E-33 or EL-C (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _).  Unlike Lionel’s models of Raymond (_ _ _ _ _ ‘ _) GG-1, the 2329 lacked (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) but did have (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) on it’s pantograph.
10. The first Lionel No. 10 was a Standard Gauge (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and the No. (_ _ _ _) of 1909, like the No. 60 Lionelville (_ _ _ _ _) (_ _ _ _ _ _ _) of 1960, was a trolley.
