Re: Lionel - I am assuming you're talking about the O-scale Lionel trains - which are 1/4 inch (1/48th) scale coarse wheeled Standard gauge models. I haven't seen Lionel products "in the flesh" for a long time. The set I had as a kid some 55 years ago was a lovely pressed-metal, very heavy train running on O-gauge track and it had a beautiful authentic-sounding whistle located in the tender. As I was only about 9 years old then and I'm in my late 60s now, I can't remember much more about it than that. If I still had that set now it would be worth a fortune!
