The Union Pacific Alco FA diesels pulling the passenger train on the Lionel display are the rare early 1950 production models that have a gray nose. The layout also has several examples of pre-WWII production.
This brings back many happy memories of my youth but unfortunately this version of American manhood has successfully been destroyed by political correctness .
No one is saying you can't run a model train if you want to. What I am saying is that basically today's young men DON'T want to run them nor do they , for the most part , care to pursue most of the things young boys loved back when this film was made. I feel that this is in a large part due to the relentless war on boys being boys waged by our politically correct educational system.
prydonian460 Well, you baffle me now with your answer. Usually the toy trains and model trains is a tradition handed down from father to son or grandfather to grandson. I don't know where you get the notion that schools have anything to do with preventing kids from playing with trains. What's "political correctness" got to do with it? Surely you don't mean schools are teaching kids to sit home and play computer games in every spare moment. Where are the parents in this situation? Are parents preventing kids from playing with trains? Are parents encouraging kids to sit around playing with computers? And, I have to ask- what's this "war against boys" you're talking about? Who's trying to hurt our boys, and when? If you mean teaching boys it's not right to rape girls or calling people of color it's wrong to use insulting and inflammatory remarks, that's not warring on our kids, that's good manners and common sense.
That little kid could have been me. I got my first Lionel train in 1940 when I was 2 years old. It still runs around the Christmas tree every year.
How about now

Awesome layout. Who would ever had thought that a layout like that would be worth tens of thousands of dollars today.

prydonian460 What do you mean? Who destroyed what? If a man wants to run a model train, who's gonna tell him he can't?
