60 WORDS

  1. It’s interesting how a handful of (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ) and just four ( _ _ _ _ _ ) cars produced over a few short years have influenced the entire ( _ _ _ _ _ _) that they were manufactured in. Especially considering that century was almost half over before they appeared.
  2. But more than the Lionel - (_ _ _ ), Lionel ( _ _ _ _ ) and ( _ _ _ _ ) Line trains that came before World War 2, the Lionel ( _ _ _ ) sets changed irrevocably our view of what is and what isn’t a ( _ _ _ _ _ ) set component. Or at least, since this is a puzzle not a doctorate thesis, what should be in the eyes of many a ( _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _).

  1. It’s interesting how a handful of (LOCOMOTIVES) and just four (FREIGHT) cars produced over a few short years have influenced the entire (CENTURY) that they were manufactured in. Especially considering that century was almost half over before they appeared.
  2. But more than the Lionel - (IVES), Lionel (JUNIOR) and (WINNER) Line trains that came before World War 2, the Lionel (SCOUT) sets changed irrevocably our view of what is and what isn’t a (STARTER) set component. Or at least, since this is a puzzle not a doctorate thesis, what should be in the eyes of many a (COLLECTOR).
  3. In 1948 there were just four (CARS) equipped with the new (MANUMATIC) coupler. Start with the No. 1002 (GONDOLA).

The No. 1002, like the O27 2452X (PENNSYLVANIA) lacked the (BRAKE - WHEELS) found on the O Gauge 2452.
  4. But don’t confuse the “Scout” 1002 gons with the three uncataloged cars manufactured in 1950 of the same number. Painted (RED), (SILVER) or yellow, these cars came only to (DEALERS) who purchased the new D-27 “Lionel Train (ILLUSION)” layout for $80 ($567.57 in 2021). A complete set of these cars is (FOURTEEN) pieces by the way, as that’s the number of unloaded models that accompanied the No. 2035 steamer with (MAGNETRACTION).
