$100 BIRTHDAY PRESENT WHAT TO GET?? HELP!

[Anonymous]

My wife just gave two fresh $50 bills to spend on a "memorable train piece" - well if I can still add that's 100 BUCKOS - should I get something new or an old piece? - I mostly like Lionel (and am growing my collection) but am open to other suggestions - I plan on making color copies of the 2 bills and somehow displaying them on/in the new piece(s) - so I'm open to suggestions and reasons why - thanks guys!

Well, $100 could get a new Lionel Dockside 0-6-0, or an RMT Beep and caboose, or a three car set of 6464 boxcars,  or a Williams 44 ton engine (on sale) . . .
. . . or you could go for used equipment, or maybe some sort of accessorie . . .
. . . or save it towards a more expensive purchase.

Get some books you've wanted but never bought.

Try out some FasTrack for a change. Looks good with just about any engine! I've run old Marx engines on it, too (but make sure there's no switches on the loop!).
