Well, this thread inspired me to take my old Mantua Tyco Century out of the box and run it around my layout. Santa brought this with the original 4 by 8 my Dad built for me for Christmas when I was three years old, way back in 1967. It is in a Burlington paint scheme. How'd she do? With a little help from "the hand of God" the train did three laps around the 4 by 8 portion of my layout. The cab lit up nicely. It did have that electric smoke smell at the end of the third lap and I put it away. BTW, there are no handrails. I don't know if it came this way, if Dad didn't feel like gluing them on, or if me and my brothers broke them off over the years. Wonder how much I could get for this "classic" on ebay?
