It seems like everyone likes tunnels.  My version of Canyonlands NP can be seen in the photo (if I can figure out how to post it)
My photo won't post because it is too large of a file??

I wish the reply could be with the photo that I wish to send a comment about.  A reply seems to only be available at the end of the posting page.  Who knows to what the reply is sent about???  And being too old for my britches, I cannot remember all of the info that I wish to reply to; like car numbers and series...

But here is my reply anyway:

I like the two green passenger cars.  One with New York Central without gold line, and the car next to it without NYC but with the gold line.  An interesting pair to picture together.

There certainly are many interesting cars mentioned in the postings.
Thanks!

Sorry that there are no photos available, but there are plenty of memories.  My wife started her train hobby at four years old with the Red Marx Commodore Vanderbilt wind-up with red passenger cars.  The first train in my life (besides real trolley rides on my Dad's lap in his driver's seat) was also a Marx Commodore Vanderbilt when I was 3.  The difference was that mine was black with an electric motor and freight cars.  My wife must have been given her set by her Uncle and Aunt.  She recalls each Christmas was spent in their basement watching their Lionel Sets growing to 3 sets over a period of 12 years.  Marx found two very impressionable children "in the beginning...".
