[ARC5] Merry Christmas

[Jay Coward]

It was 1956 when I got my American Flyer set, a 4-6-2  loco with tender, a coal carrier, flat car. Gulf tanker and caboose. Two switches and a de-coupler. Still have it and I got a bottle of "smoke" fluid too. Still love that smell as much as old mil radio smell!

It was Christmas '49 or '50 at Grandma and Grandpa house when I came downstairs 
and Dad had set up the new Lionel Santa Fe double A unit freight train set under 
the tree.  Had the coal hopper car, searchlight car, gondola car, operating box 
car and caboose and the KW transformer.  My best Christmas ever!  Still have it!
