QUOTE: Originally posted by scoobster28 brianel027, Lionel did in either the late 1980's or the early 1990s. I remember seeing advertisements in Model Railroader. It was their typical 2-4-0 steam locomotive if I remember correctly and there was a completely blue engine and tender with Conrail can openers on the tender, a completely green engine and tender with SOUTHERN on the tender, and a third that I don't remember. I thought they were funny looking then, and that hasn't changed. I will see if I can dig up the model railroader it was in.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Dr. John There's a reason they are called Classic TOY Trains. I personally enjoy the whimsical aspect of toy trains. I like my gatemen to tower over the trains, having couplers the size of Volkswagens and carper for grass - adds to the charm! I was a "scale" modeler for many years in HO. Nothing wrong with that, but it can get a bit tiresome to put a lot of work and effort into the paint, decals, details and weathering on a model only to have some yahoo criticize it for having the wrong number of vents on the doors or the builders plate 3 inches out of position. It is a hobby, after all. End of sermon.
