Poor, poor Sloco!
 

You're not making me jealous.


And yet you respond!?


I only buy
modern stuff with command control and digital sound.


So you're a fruity homo? That makes sense.


By the way those
old trains in your old man's attic are dropping in value every day.



BWAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!


Oh,
please tell the group what Lionel "display trains which are worth a
fortune" are. I've never heard of that catagory. More bull**** from
Boob****.


So, Sloco the homo train boy doesn't even know about train sets!!!!
Well, I'll teach him a few things. Even as lionel started making
trains, they also did window displays. In fact, it's said that the 1st
train was for a window display. They continued to do this even as they
made more convention electric train sets, usually as one-offs for
large "famous" store displays. Few survive. My father owns two, one
from Macy's and the other from Alexanders. They are worth a lot of
money at auction. The Macy's model is, complete with a custom track
and cars made for the store. One of the five cars is actually a boxcar
redone as Santa's workshop. My father originally had three of these,
but he sold one to see what it would go for. 5500.00. That seems like
a lot for a toy train, though some have sold for more. We're told that
the Alexanders train is far more valuable because of it's size.

Like I said, I eclipse poor Sloco at every turn! He's truly the born
loser and his boat is UGLY!!!

Total bull****. In the 50s, the heyday of department store Christmas
window displays, Lionel trains would be featured in Dept. store
windows all across the country. In NY Lionel would actually do the
displays at some Macy's locations. For some stores with the buying
power Lionel would make up sets for them to sell exclusively to
eliminate them having to compete with discount stores. There were
tens of thousands of these sets made every year. That's what your ole
man has Boobie. Not a one of a kind "window display train" Oh, and
Lionel surely would not have made "custom track" for Macys or any
other dealer for that matter. Maybe you could post a picture of this
track. I know of only 3 types of Lionel track and each one of them
was sold by the millions. By the way Lionel still makes a few
thousand boxcars for Macys each holiday season even today. Maybe you
should run down and buy a couple. They will be worth millions. So
you see Boobie your knowledge of Lionel's history will never "eclipse"
mine.
The lame Boob looks like a dummy once again.

LOL....................... You'd be surprised at who's running 'O'
gauge trains these days Boobie. George Olson designer of the Olson
25, 29, 30, 34 and 911S is a 'O' gauge collector/operator. He even
has a company that manufactures and sells aluminum shelves for
displaying trains.

square rigger.

I bet that was for 'Stormwatch'

I've seen Tull a bunch of times, they are always excellent. The first
time was just after 'Heavy Horses.' The concerts on the tour they're
doing now includes a long acoustic set, I'm going to try to catch one
of the dates when we're docked.

When we stop at a place with a fast internet connection, I'm going to
hunt thru Youtube for more Tull concert footage. Check out the
'Locomotive Breath Live in Chile, 2007' with a classical violinist
guest.

Wow, Sloco sure sounds angry and jealous now! As well he should!

Sorry, but it IS a one-off unit. We had it appraised and identified.
Furthermore, one of the cars has custom graphics showing a pic of
Rowland H. Macy and another shows Isidor Express, refering to the
Straus bros. One of the track pieces has a tin mock-up of the Herald
Sq. building. It was only used for one season of course, dated 1942,
but we're told used a year later.

This one item is probably worth more than your whole collection. Grant
Donaldson has seen it in person and knew exactly what it was. Now go
spin!
