I have mostly scale engines and rolling stock, but I also have a good amount of postwar. The scale stuff is great looking but sometimes to me it lacks something. I love the Lionel space and military items especially the operating cars.
Sometimes I get bored just watching a train go around in an endless loop. The postwar seems to add life to a layout with it's interaction , like the rockets, helicopters and so on.
I'm leaving the hobby this summer. I'm going to be selling off all of my scale trains but for some reason I can't part with the post-war stuff.
