[AT] Some ads from the 12/11 Lancaster Farming

[Rob Gray]

Talking about toys. When I was a kid I used to go to electric toy train 
shows with a neighbor who was a collector. Over a few years as a 
youngster I bought some nice old Lionel sets and such. Those things had 
gone up a lot price-wise several years later, although I'm not sure if 
the market is still strong for them either... trains and tractos sound 
like a good combination... lol
