Vic & his Tin Plate Layout did it.
Made me remember being a 9 year old boy with his first electric train set.
Christmas 1959, I got a Sears/Marx-Allstate O27 Steam Freight Set.
Only took 52 years, but I recently acquired a '72 Lionel Blue Streak Freight Set
and have the 3 rail fever again.
Yup, it’s all Vic’s Fault.
At least that’s what I tell SWMBO…
Oh yeah like I forced you to buy it 
Actually Vic, I bartered for the trains.
Cutting down on the excess misc. things that are cluttering up my storage area, (no trains),
while we’re getting ready to sell the house & move.
I’m working on a deal with the same guy for a couple of sets of tin plate cars (some have your name on them, to repay you for your kindness)…
Of course once the Kool Aid has been drank…
I just couldn’t pass up on 3 Marx Trains sets, a big box of track, switches,crossovers,
& another big box full of accessories…
The price was extremely reasonable, less than what I would have paid for the track alone…
