Getting Older.

Have you ever noticed that men my age still like toys ?
I sure do, but not the same kind of toys that I would receive at Christmas Time there at the house just down the street from Cheesman Park in Denver, Colorado.
In those days a set of building blocks or clay would make me very happy. I remember that one year I received a Santa Fe Diesel and three Passenger cars , transformer and a circle of track from Lionel. My brother got a freight train. But I was very happy with my passenger set. It was an F-7 Diesel from GM and it was and still is so cool. Great Design. Even today it looks great.
What kind of toys to I think of….that’s my secret. Some are cheep and others EXPENSIVE.

No question that the Alco PAs were good looking, but the F-7 looked good on a cold steel rail and on an HO board as well.

I don’t think the average person, me included could tell the difference at first or even second glance.
