Keep us posted. Karl's stuff is great; I especially love the lackies (shiny houses)!

The original lackies were made by the Japanese to imitate the stamped-sheet-steel buildings that Lionel made to go with their trains in the 20s and 30s. Most of them were painted in solid colors and heavily shellacked to give them a shiny finish that resembled the Lionel originals. They provided an affordable alternative to the relatively expensive metal structures. Karl's new line of lackies should sell well to Lionel collectors, as they are quite appropriate for pre-war railroads.

Great work, Karl!
