This is another one from my Grandfather's collection. Taken at Summit, CA in 1952.

Didn't Lionel make these into an American icon? What every boy wanted to have under the tree on Christmas morning. My dad agonized over buying an
A-B-A set from someone at work. Even brought them home for a while before finally deciding not to. Wah!

Classic shot from your Grandfather, Greg. Thanks!

My first HO Athearn trainset (age 10) was a 9? car freight train with Santa Fe passenger F's (A-B-A?) Dad probably picked it out since we would see the San Diegan's with that kind of power at the time...Love them F's!- Steve in Warm, sunny San Diego
