Ah yes Burton, I recall those cereal box trains. I did have a few of them, but at 80 my memory does have some blank spots. Not lots, but enough hat those memories need a bit of giggling to bring them back, VBG. Truthfully, I was deeper into airplanes at that point than the trains ( The trains were there of course on their 4x8 table, but from the time that I knew what an airplane was, I wanted to be a fighter pilot - Flying Tigers, Wildcats, Thunderbolts, and Mustangs, et al. Still the cereal box ones were printed , not hand drawn as these are, so I stand by my assessment. Most likely a Dad ( or Mom ) did them for their child, as mine did for me for things that I liked.

Thanks for tugging on that memory string. Memories, in the main, are good ones. Others get buried much deeper.

 CB&Q content - I love my E-7's and Blackhawk passenger cars, along with F3's, and other Burlington goodies.

 Mostly great memories.

Mobile, Al ( and many other places as an Army brat does get around )
