Good morning! My putzing has been rather slow going, but in the last few weeks I have been playing with trains a bit. My dad gave me his old Lionel Scout from when he was a boy about 7 years ago and I put it around my Christmas tree every year. Recently I did some printing for a fellow that refurbishes American Flyer. I told him about my Lionel, and he surprised me with 3 or 4 cool Lionel accessories. So I have been researching different layouts to figure a good way to set them up. I found this video on youtube from the 40's and at :52 seconds a MIJ cardboard house pops up. Pretty cool video! I think I saw a composition house in there too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wlKcgNAuzE -Brian |

Brian, what a sweet old home movie... I loved watching this! There were several pieces there that I recognize. I thought there might be more than one MIJ house, one or maybe two smaller ones to the right of the one you pointed out at :52 seconds? And those great Lionel 58 (I think) street lamps, and a little putz sheep in the middle of the display. It's so great to think that at this time this was made, this was probably state of the art! Thanks! Barb |

Oh yeah, Brian.... you can definitely sink some money into these things. But having said that... you can still get the odd bargain if you look for it. And as I always tell my husband, I COULD be collecting jewelry!! |
