I think all that crew talk stuff is a bit boring, IMHO.;D  When I run trains, I want to run trains - not listen! 

 I really like tinplate, so I tend to favor prewar Lionel and Marx engines.  Lately, I have picked up a couple of Prewar O gauge Ameriacn Flyer - mid 1930 stuff.


For me late pre-war is the current calling. 226's, Flyer City of Denver, Ives Red Hawk... that sort of thing. Bright Colors and OZONE! ;D :o 8)

Clinchfield Challenger seems to be the first one I fire up whenever I run trains.

KC, I was really referring to pre and post war Lionel train, not really modern stuff.  But those Challengers look nice.
