Toy trains are for kids or has everything changed since the end of my Lionel railroading days? I guess the message here is, "Look, kid, here's a condom - if you're Daddy had gotten this years ago, you wouldn't be here!"
The toy train industry has expanded. There are a lot of adult enthusiasts, and HO is generally consider one the adult gauges (much bigger than your Lionel days).
I live about 5 miles from the Lionel factory. I should stop in and show them this great idea to increase sales.
