If you had said Thursday night, I would have been a little freaked out by Lady Firestorm! We actually had a 4ish Magnitude earthquake near Detroit around 8 pm.
Becky - What are your thoughts on the "Girls" train?

The information the appraiser gave on the girls set and Lionel was wrong on every point. The set was boxed, but it could not have been new. The owner talked about giving her pets rides in the cars. I have no idea what an original Postwar Lionel girls set is worth these days. I had one years ago, but it was dirty, and I did not want to try to clean it. So out it went. I don't miss it.
Anyone notice a tremor, a rumbling, a general sense of unease running through the land about 8:30 EST tonight? Wonder what it was all about?
Well, wonder no longer. A vintage "Lady Lionel" train set, yes the infamous "Girls Train" showed up on "Antiques Roadshow" this evening! That disturbance in "The Force" was Lady Firestorm's reaction, she HATES the sight of the thing!
"What girl in her right mind would have wanted one of those things? If a girl wants a train she wants one that looks like a REAL one, not an Easter Egg!"
And that was the mildest thing she said!
Oh well. By the way, the appraiser pegged it at $2,000 in case anyone's interested. New and in the original box too!
