Somewhere in the attic I have my brother’s l938 Lionel train set, some cars in original boxes. It is all I have of him, and remember as a child one Christmas eve having trouble getting to sleep, not only from the excitement, but because of the noise coming from the sunroom downstairs. My father, it turned out, played with the train long after getting it set up under the tree.
Precious memories of long ago.
Christmas of 1962 my dad bought a Lionel train set for my 3 brothers and me. That was the only gift we received that year but we loved it! I remember it shot a rocket out of one car that came down with a small parachute attached.
