I 1958 my dad wanted to get me the super O SF Passenger set, it was ordered but very popular.. I wound up with the 1958 SF "Super O" freight set, loaded with features. It had the operating milk station and the missile base /exploding box car. also the submarine car..
I still have the original boxes and track etc.
well having not run my trains in over 20 years, I decided to drag them out and see... a little sluggisn ad first, the engines ran, and after some oil and tweaking, they ran great
my dad would be proud.. the old post war stuff just plain runs...
now to hook up those old F-3 s to the MTH passenger consist and let'em rip!
