Ah, yes, the old liability issue. That is most certainly with us. I recall,
however, that I first noticed Lionel trains when I was in kindergarten at
Bancroft School in Minneapolis. Bobby Growley took me to his basement and
showed me a layout, complete with milk platform and other operating
accessories, the coveted Berkshire locomotive, and cannot recall what else. It
was all too glorious. A year or two later, I became aware of American Flyer.
Although I was quite young, I recall no inclination to eat the train cars or
locomotives. As a practical matter, getting even a 6464 box car into the
mouth, truncated as it was, seemed an impossible task. Besides mother had
supper waiting at home.
A few years later, heated arguments arose at school regarding Lionel vs.
American Flyer. No one won the debates, but they sure were fun.
