I remember the late 1940's around Cleveland, Ohio. We lived in Lakewood at the time and a block away from the Nickel Plate mainline. My parents did not own a car and we walked to the store for groceries. The highlight for me was waiting for one of NKP's steam engines to go rolling by. Yes, I remember street cars and taking them downtown and going on the lower level of the Detroit/Superior bridge.I model in G scale and model narrow gauge. My next layout will be back to HO and the Nickel Plate.The 40's and the 50's were the days for trains. You could watch a train go by and see a lot of different railroads within that train. So many "fallen flags", they say that is progress. Today's trains get to be a bit boring.........unit trains. Back then every train was different as they were all mixed freight.
