My name is John Hope and I am 83 years old. My mother worked at Sears roebuck company and was able to get a company discount on the engine. This represented a whole weeks pay and she had to put it on lay out for several months.
When I was 10 years old, I took the engine apart to see how it worked and that started a hobby that is lasted for 70 years.
The Lionel company hired great engineers, and with the help of the assemblance were able to make high-quality products that lasted for 70 years.
You can rest, assured that with proper maintenance this will last another 70 years and can be handed down to your great grandchildren.
