I was packing my CV Hudson up for a show this weekend when I noticed this.
How many long for the days when you saw a label like this when you took a new train out of the package?

Yep. But many people would no longer accept the more limited level of detail we had back then.

I'd be all over it. Give me limited, rugged detail; scale size; and idiot-simple electrical control.
I was hoping follks would notice that Lionel actually had an inspector who would check each item over before packing it for shipment. That person would put an identifying number on it indicating the pride that went into building something.
Sadly lacking today.
I recall some years ago when my focus was more on Post War and tradtional trains finding a slip of paper in a 9" 2454 boxcar for the same purpose. "inspected by xx"

I liked it even more when ‘MADE AND LITHO IN THE USA’ was on the boxes
That's a collectors item, better hold on to that.

Are you referring to the tag? (Attempt at humor)

If it's so hard to mfg replacement parts and electronics can no longer be maintained due to again (obsolete or no longer made) parts.
Idiot simple electronic control is the BEST option.
Funny how we started out in this hobby .....running trains in a circle...now we run around in circles trying to maintain and keep running our trains.
