[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 652496, member: 10543"] I sold about half of our post-war family Lionel, but kept my favorite pieces, some track and a transformer so that I can run it if I want. It's unlikely that I'll ever have the space to set up a Lionel layout, so I have no regrets about selling what I did. Much of what I sold were the lineside machines which consume a ton of space, even if stored. Some of the locomotives I kept needed parts and I was pleased to find that high quality replica parts such as specialty screws, bulbs and window transparencies are easy to find at train shows and are inexpensive. I have a few pre-war pieces that were my Dad's and I'll never sell those. I need to do some dusting! :eek: [ATTACH=CONFIG]276257._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
