1962 would have been near the endgame. I can remember getting the catalogs every year and being more and more depressed watching Lionel slowly collapse. 1957 was the first year for Super-0. I was 5 years old and I can still remember that morning--got the top-of-the-line N&W 746 set that my parents couldn't really afford. I still have the receipt somewhere showing that they bought it half-price ($49) on christmas eve at American Auto. I still have every piece of that set, including the original box.
