Hello all, new here. When I was growing up my father had Lionel trains(50's-70's stuff) and well now I would like to get into trains as my wife and I have just had our first child. Since I was raised on lionel and my dad has said that eventually my brother and I can pick and choose from his trains i figured I'd look for lionel trains. I was in a authorized lionel train store the other day only to find that he didn't carry much Lionel because it was now inferior to MTH. He stated that Lionel no longer made there stuff out of metal and etc. I tried to research on the lionel site but could not find much on there quality and craftsmanship. Granted the MTH stuff looks good and seems to be made well but before I make a move I would like to verify that lionel has gone the cheaper route in making there trains or is it just that the guy prefers MTH over Lionel. Any help would be appreciated as I have not been able to find Lionel stuff around where i live (just relocated) to see first hand for myself
