That car is not for me. I never buy any items, such as trains,collector plates or anything else with a date on them. I began buying the Lionel Christmas boxcars, as well as Toy Fair cars, through out the 1980s and then right before the millenium they just looked outdated and I eventually sold them at shows.

Dates on a boxcar, if very #65279;prominent, instantly dates the piece and then the next year it somehow just don't look right. and I wind up asking myself, "why the hell did I buy this?"

Can someone give me an example of "chumming"...? Exercise restraint, gentlemen.


Jimbo, I think that was more in the nature of a "troll" although it did have the smell of ground up fish about it. All depends on whether there is a hook in the little pieces of fish.[:p]
