Hi Mike and Larry, I got a couple for y'all...Do you recall the Revell SW switcher with the clutch? The darned thing would sit there and rev up before it started to move!! Hobbytown had a similar arrangement for their E6. And how about the Penn Line and Mantua steam engine kits? Seems like I was always losing those little rivets for the valve gear and would have to go downtown to the hobby shop and get some more. I still have a few Athearn metal boxcars sitting on the shelf along with some Stormbecker wood and paper freight cars. But my all time favorites were the Walthers passenger cars with the tinplate/stamped sides. Yep!! We didn't just "shake the box" in those days much!! Take Care and Have Fun...Vic
