Boys get to have toys in any color but pink and purple and pastels. Girls can’t have toys in any color but pink and purple and pastels.

Many years back, Lionel created a pink locomotive in an attempt to create a train that appealed to girls. It appealed to neither boys nor girls. It does, however, appeal to collectors!

Way cool. I collect them. My wife might even display that set.

I should remember those trains since we had a Lionel set but I don’t.

It would be fun to buy a railroad and make the union loco engineers drive pink.

Too bad they didn’t aim for an Atlas Srugged train set instead.

They could have developed some interesting new models and buildings for the lines talked about in the book. And there could be a tiny Dagny Tagart to make sure it all ran on time!
