Classic Lionel Postwar Toy Trains

Here's a classic Lionel Postwar locomotive and classic Lionel Postwar freight cars (well, with a couple of ringers) that will transport anyone of a certain age (like me) right back to their childhood. 🙂 This is the #681 turbine, a (very) semi-scale model of Pennsy's massive S2 steam turbine (the only 6-8-6 steam locomotive ever built).  Purely conventional, powered by a classic ZW transformer from the same time period, with Magnetraction, a three position E-unit (which makes the buzz that everyone remembers) and a mechanical air whistle, this is the epitome of Postwar Lionel trains.  The cars date from the same period (a couple are a bit more modern Lionel/MPC reproductions of Postwar cars) and include the operating milk car, the operating log dump car, the operating "cop and hobo" car, and the operating searchlight car.  In this True HD 1080p video shot with 21st century technology, you can travel back to the simpler times of the 1950's and enjoy once again the toys that kept us amused when we were young.  Alas that even True HD 1080p doesn't let you smell the ozone! 🙂
