I can remember around 1950 when the standard Lionel price for a freight car, made in Irvington NJ, was $4.95; especially elaborate cars were $5.95.  $79.954 for a hopper car blows my mind.

And imagine the cost of a 6-pack of those hoppers today!!!  That's way more than the MSRP of Lionel's 1966 NYC "Super-O" Steam Freight set that had a catalog price of $225.  Oh yea... that INCLUDED a 773 Hudson steam locomotive, 7 pieces of rolling stock -- 3 of which were OPERATING rolling stock (i.e., poultry car, horse car, milk car), a 99"x54" Super-O double oval with a pair of remote switches, AND a ZW!!!!

It was a different world back then for sure.    Typical wages were close to  $75-$100/week, and my parents first Cape Cod style house in NJ cost them $14,000 back in those days.
