hey Sgt J T Clark- if it wan't for TYCO/Mantua, as well as Varney, Hobby-Line, and especially the Athearn ' blue-box' engine and rolling stock kits, we late '50i***ypes would be still trying to find room for O scale! Lets not forget that early HO structure releases from Atlas, such as their interlocking tower, water tank, pass. stration,and school kits were state of the art then, and hold their own today. Even Revell got into the act with their infamous HO structure line- engine house, "Superior Bakery", "Weekly Herald ", pass. & frt stations, farm house, barn, and so on These are still available today, having been re-released by many different firms. The tooling is still first rate. I'll never forget how excited I was when Athearn introduced an F& A&B plus streamline cars decorated for the ESPEE in 'Daylight' paint scheme. I looked all over the EastCoast for them, and had to buy one or two pieces at a time-they were always sold out. It was simpler back then and a lot of fun! .
