Lionel knew how to advertise back then! I wish I'd have got a layout for Christmas like that one!

lol, you know i did but i mainly liked seeing them and the 19.99 price tags. I wish id grown up in that era. the 50's were so dang cool. You had the sweet cars, the trains, Nad many more really cool things. But were stuck in what i call "Plasticville" they cars are plastic, you can buy with plastic, ppel are doing plastic surgery. but thats my favorite era, personally.

 

seeing them automated items run was cool too.

I mean saving it on your computer, instead of having to go one YouTube everytime you want to see the video.  Also if you have a downloaded video, you can put it onto a DVD.

P.S Zeke I have to agree with you, the 50's were an awsome time, I too wish I could of grown up in that era.

Zeke, what would cost $19.99 in 1953 would cost $146.69 today. (I used my infaltion rate calculator). However, that is about $100 cheaper than todays lionel starter sets. I think back then it should be more expensive than it is today, since it was made with quality, care, and in the USA!

Here is some old 35 mm film. Intresting film tech. You have to stick around for the winter snow scene towards the end!   It's snowing!     http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1495122124952353449&q=lionel+commercials&total=96&start=0&num=10&so=0&type
