<font face="times new roman,times" size="4">In reply to CNJ's mention that Lionel is catering to collectors, Lionel trains are now made in China. I don't think Chinese made trains will ever be regarded as "collectible". They will never be on a par with pre-war Lionel's. People who buy "limited run" trains and sit on them as an investment are called scalpers. They are selfish people who don't give a damn about trains, only in their own selfish interests. They don't contribute to MRR. A true collector enjoys trains, displays them for others to enjoy without the idea of turning a profit.</font>
