I've had an interest in Standard gauge for years, but just in an academic sense. Earlier today I saw an original Lionel Peacock Blue #10 electric for what seemed to be a rather low price. I bid on it just for the heck of it, figuring someone would outbid me and the price would shoot up. Well, nobody else bid. So now I have just started sliding down that slippery slope. Wow, I'm excited! It looks well played with but it's intact and running. I'm bummed though that I'll have to wait until October to see it, when I get off the ship and back home.
